Thank you Lord for Craig
and his family. Calgary is such an amazing city to be able to serve. I pray
that Craig would have fresh passion for Calgary again. I ask that the mundane
of day-to-day familiarity would not suppress his love for the City. In all he
does as an MLA, please help him to serve and lead with vision. Beyond the
realm of politics, I pray that he would also not succumb to the day-to-day
mundane of life in general. I pray he’d always have attentive eyes and ears for
his family, and that all their family relationships would be healthy and
vibrant. Help him not to miss moments of wonder and beauty in this fast pace of
life.
