Father God, I bring MLA Mike Ellis to you in prayer. I pray for protection and safety for Mike and his family as well as peace and renewal during this difficult time. Grant him wisdom to use his expertise and experience in the police force to bring about positive change in our community. Help him to hear and recognize your voice of leading in his life. Let your will be done through him. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
