We pray today for Joan Isaacs, newly elected MLA in 2017. Thank you, Lord that she has a heart for restorative justice, and a heart that seeks to serve and support the needy, vulnerable and disenfranchised in our society, such as the homeless and those with mental health challenges. Enable her, Lord, to use her background and experiences to help others in need, particularly in her role as opposition critic for senior care and as she serves on the select standing committee for children and youth. Provide Joan discernment and insight to serve effectively within our legislature in Victoria. May she be given the grace to serve with integrity not only the citizens of her Coquitlam-Burke Mountain riding, but for such a time as this, Lord, allow her to be used in capacities where she can mobilize her passions to help those who need representation and advocacy. Bless Joan, her husband, Joe, and their family over this Christmas season with special times of relaxation and focus with friends and family. Bless Joan abundantly, and equip her to be a blessing to those she has been called to serve. Amen………………………
