MLA David Forbes. Saskatoon Centre



We pray for David Forbes today and we ask that You would be near him through this upcoming session as the Legislature resumes.  Help him to be an effective critic and advocate.  Use him to draw attention to the places where policies and practices fall short of helping people in the way they were intended to.  Bless those who work to support him and help him as he gives himself to service in this way.
