Dear
Heavenly Father, we thank you for Premier Notley and that she has committed
herself along with the government team to lead our province. Lord, we pray that
you would strengthen her as her position requires much time, wisdom and
courage. We ask that you would grant her
the wisdom and courage to make the decisions facing her daily and also to be
able to manage her time well as she faces multiple priorities. Bless her with
health and strength. Amen
Premier of Alberta
