MLA Scott Cyr, Bonnyville - Cold Lake

Lord we pray for peace, direction and purpose for Scott.  His role as MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake comes with many unique challenge and responsibilities. Specifically, for his oversight in the region that has a major Canadian Forces air base. Please bring him favour and opportunities to serve those who serve us every day.  I specifically pray that Scott will be able to provide a voice and the leadership for those at members and their facilities at CFB Cold Lake. Finally I pray that Scott would be able to persevere through the challenging times that he must face every day. Even when the stakes are high, I pray that Scott will simple persevere and do the "next right thing" (James 1:12; 2 Timothy 4:7). I speak a blessing over Scott's family and pray for peace in their household and that their home will be filled with love. Amen
