Father God, we lift up to You in prayer Chantelle de Jonge, MLA for Chestermere–Strathmore. We are grateful that Chantelle has chosen to use her skills in economics and public policy to serve Albertans. We know, according to Deuteronomy 8:17–18, that the ability to produce wealth comes from You. We thank You for the natural resources we have in our province and pray that we would steward them wisely. Let us remember that our hope comes from You, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment (1 Timothy 6:17). We pray that Chantelle prospers and is in good health, even as her soul prospers. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
