Lord God, it is with thankfulness that we come before you for Hon. Kathleen Ganley. We recognize the important call on her life as she serves not only the residents in the constituency of Calgary – Buffalo but as she serves in Premier Notley’s cabinet. May she experience your wisdom and be aware of how she can bring to the forefront the needs of our Aboriginal people and fairly represent them. Give her fresh vision and renewed strength. Bless her and keep her safe as she travels about the province and connects with Aboriginal people and their communities. Amen
