Father, this day we bring our Premier Jason Kenney before your throne of grace and ask that you give him great wisdom and understanding as he serves our province and the citizens of Calgary-Foothills. Lord, may he lead with true humility and be open to the counsel of others as he determines the direction for the future of our province. Jesus, watch over him and protect him. May he sense your guidance in all that he does. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
