As we pray for
Hon. MLA Mary McNeill to-day, we are aware of the importance of the Minister of
Children and Family Development portfolio she has been entrusted with that
deals with one of our most valuable treasures of this province. We pray she
will be blessed with Your Divine wisdom to help her daily in this responsible
service to families as she seeks to provide wholesome environments and to
discern and meet the needs of the children of this province. We pray You will
give her futuristic vision as she meets the challenge of coping with this ever
changing fast paced world. Bless her with courage, strength, good health and a
happy heart to perform this ministry with excellence. In Jesus name we pray.
