Everlasting King of kings, we thank You for MLA Brad Trivers and his service to the residents of Rustico–Emerald and all of PEI. In these times, we pray that You will bless him with wisdom and discernment to navigate difficult issues and make decisions that bring peace and prosperity to our province and glory to Your holy name. Protect his going out and his coming in. Touch his heart and bring him to a place of complete trust and reliance on Your unfailing love and power. We pray for his entire family today and ask that You meet them at the very point of their needs. Build a wall of defense around them. Let Your joy, peace, and love be their portion every day of their lives. Strengthen their bonds and protect them from the devices of the enemy. We pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
