Lord God, Creator and sustainer, we come to You today on behalf of MLA Meara Conway. We give You thanks for her and the position in which You have placed her for such a time as this. In her role as Shadow Minister for Health, we ask You to give her favour, wisdom, and insight as she holds our government accountable for this ministry that is so critical to the citizens of our province. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
