MLA Buckley Belanger – Athabasca



Father in Heaven, we pray for MLA Buckley Belanger, asking that You would give him strength in every area of life, so that he may serve the constituents of Athabasca well. We pray that You give him wisdom as he makes decisions and also the strategies he needs to put new initiatives in place. May he and his family members experience Your blessing and presence in their lives.  Amen
