MLA Jane Thornthwaite Member for North Vancouver - Seymour

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Dear Lord, we pray for this talented, capable and hard-working, young woman.

We pray You will bless her abundantly for her courage in stepping out to a new way of life, in her desire to make a difference in our province, and for her constituents of North Vancouver and Seymour.

For the sacrifices she is making as a mother of three to serve this province, we pray Your blessings upon her. Place Your hand of protection and love over her family, that every need will be met, and that they will lack nothing. We especially ask that You will keep them all in good health and keep their relationships with one another strong and whole.

In Jesus' Mighty Name we pray. Amen
