Father, we lift MLA Gurtej Singh Brar up to You in prayer. “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30. Father, we pray this beautiful promise over Mr. Brar as he serves his constituents, The Province of Alberta and as he serves on the Standing committees. May You bless him indeed, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
