Our Father in Heaven, today we pray for Ms. Marie Renaud, MLA for St. Albert. We pray for her work on the Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections. As they endeavor to keep accountable all parliamentary procedures, we ask for your blessing. We believe the words in Proverbs 2:7 that “He holds success in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless.” We pray that you would guide our legislative assembly to follow these words. Bless Marie and her family today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
