Lord God, we thank You that You have
given MLA Rick Strankman a genuine heart of concern for the people he
represents in Drumheller – Stettler. We
pray that as he serves on the Legislative committee on Alberta’s Economic
Future that You would alert him to urgent situations and the ability to see
beyond the obvious to discern what is truly needed. We speak Your blessings over him, his family
and constituency. Amen.
