Lord Jesus, I bring Mr. Rod Loyola to you in prayer. Thank you so much for Rod and his service in the community of Edmonton-Ellerslie. Give Rod strength as he fights for equality and against racism in our communities. I pray for peace and wisdom for Rod and that he would be open to your gentle leading in his life. Help him to use his expertise, background and talents according to your will. Keep him and his family safe and in your hands this year. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
