MLA David Buckingham, Saskatoon Westview

Father, David has a desire to be a part of big things. A desire to see big ideas turn-out. You've given him ideas and opportunities and he has pursued them diligently. Father I ask that you would bless him and keep him. Father I would ask that you would begin a new work in his heart, a yearning to see even greater things come about.  Place ideas in his mind and give him the strength to carry them out.

Strengthen him and cause his heart to seek deeper things, things that bring real learning and heart change to a man and a leader.  Allow him to know You in a way he has never known You before.
