Lord, we ask that you would give Bernadette Smith great joy. You have given her wisdom and creativity. Assist her to use that as a politician to make a difference for all Manitobans. Activate the many gifts that she has along with her voice of compassion for her constituents in Point Douglas and all of Manitoba. Keep her protected and healthy. In Jesus’ name. Amen
