Dear Heavenly Father, on this day, we lift up Member Jon Carson (NDP), MLA for Edmonton-West Henday. As climate change is at the forefront of his campaign, we ask that You, God give us all wisdom in taking care of Your creation. We pray that we are respectful to each other in this, sometimes, heated debate. We pray that we remember that Psalm 89:11 says, “The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.” (NIV) We ask that You teach us to respect it accordingly. In Jesus name, Amen………
