Today we lift up Jane Anee Thornthwaite. We thank you for guiding her life and bringing her to the place where she is a leader in our province.  Please grant her wisdom as she interacts with others who form the government.


Strengthen her on the difficult days and fill her with peace in the midst of trying circumstances.  We pray for an ability to be able to balance public and private life effectively .

May Your blessings rest upon her and the work you have called her to do. Amen
