Dear Lord, We thank You for the service of the Honourable Jill Burridge. We pray that You would grant her wisdom, guidance, and strength as she serves the people of Prince Edward Island. We pray for her role as Minister of Finance and Affordability. May Your Spirit empower her work, giving her discernment and compassion. May she be a source of hope and encouragement to those she serves, and may her efforts bring honour and glory to Your name. “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed are those who heed wisdom’s instruction.” Proverbs 29:18. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
