O God, our Father, our prayer today is specifically for MLA Colleen Young. We thank you for the leadership that she brings to the legislature. We ask you to watch over her and her family. We ask that you would bring people in her path that would make her feel valued, both in the jobs that she does and with the people she serves, we humbly pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
