Father, we thank You for MLA Selena Robinson. We pray that You would lead and guide her with Your revelation, wisdom and understanding so that British Columbia is a province that continues as a leader in this nation. We ask that You surround her with those that will give her honest feedback that has been thought through with great wisdom. We ask also that You would protect and watch over her and may she walk in blessing and prosperity in all things. We pray in Your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
