Dear
God in Heaven, we come to You in prayer today for MLA Mr. Drew Barnes and for
the work he does in our legislature. We
pray that You would give him clear vision for what he has to do from day to day
and for the road ahead. Give him the
wisdom to overcome obstacles before him with ease. Protect him and his family. Amen.
