MLA Leela Aheer, Chestermere-Rocky View

Lord, I thank you for Mrs. Leela Sharon Aheer. I thank you that you have carefully placed her in my prayers so that I can encourage and provide her with my prayerful support.  It's clear that Leela has been given many gifts such as creativity and a caring spirit.  I pray father that as Leela executes her duties as an MLA representing those constituents in her region that she will use wise discernment between right and wrong and that her vote on critical issues would be directed by her moral and spiritual compass and convictions. I pray that you would watch over her and her family, protect them and bless them.  Finally Lord, I pray that Leela be able to use her creativity and her music to communicate and influence our community as I know very well that the gift of music and the creative arts can have such a measurable positive affect on us all. Amen
