Father God, we pray today for Hon.
Jeff Johnson and the significant role he fills as the Minister of Education. We
are grateful for the variety of options that families have here In Alberta to
educate their children according to their preference. We pray that you Lord
will surround Mr. Johnson with key people from all over the province who will
not only represent but be a voice for the needs of students from kindergarten through
to university. It is our prayer today that you would give him wisdom as he and
his colleagues collaborate and make crucial decisions. Refresh and energize him
and give him health and strength. Amen
