Dear
Father in Heaven we pray for Mrs. Christine Cusanelli as she is an MLA and pray
that you will help her make wise choices in the constituency she serves in. We
pray that you will open her eyes to new possibilities as she travels and talks
to the people of our province. God we ask that you keep her and her family safe
and may they have time to do the things together that they enjoy. Amen
