Today, we lift up MLA Irwin to You in prayer. Lord, we thank You for MLA Irwin and for the care she has for those in her community. We ask that You grant her wisdom and help her as she represents the people of Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood and serves in her role as Official Opposition Whip. We speak blessing and protection over MLA Irwin in Jesus’ name. Amen.
