Father, bless MLA Mike Bernier. Continue to equip him to lead in difficult situations and even when there is resistance to what is right. May he have the courage to set the example for what is the best choice for everyone involved. May he find creative ways to find ‘win wins’ for his constituents. Bless his family and all those that he surrounds himself with. Give him strength, Father. In Jesus name, Amen…..
