Mr. Shaye Anderson - MLA for Leduc-Beaumont

Heavenly Father, Mr Anderson has assumed a new and significant role as MLA.  He may, and perhaps already has, faced unexpected challenges that requires him to make decisions about matters unlike any he has encountered in the past.  We therefore join together and ask that You grant him a clear and accurate understanding of all issues that may cross his desk, as well as the grace and courage to do that which is right rather than that which is merely politically expedient. Amen
