Our Father in heaven, we pray for your divine blessing upon Mr. Richard Feehan, MLA for Edmonton-Rutherford. We specifically ask that you guide him in his work on the Standing Committee on Resource Stewardship. Let us remember the words Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:14, “Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.” We pray that Mr. Feehan would honour you with the resources we have in this province. In the amazing Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
