Heavenly Father, we give thanks today for MLA Dew and his family. We pray for the peace of Your presence to permeate every aspect of his constituency. Give him wisdom to apply what he has learned in his career to the work of helping govern our province. Lord, we thank You for all You’ve done and all You will continue to do in Gavin’s life. We pray for opportunities to rest and experience joy and growth as a family. Amen.
