Lord, we lift up to you our Premier Hon. Greg Selinger.  We pray that he would walk in integrity and that people would see his genuine character.  Even when he seems to be  in a dark valley and the opposition is mounting, Lord, we ask that you would protect Greg.  We thank you for his influence in government and may he continue to establish favour with his cabinet and the people of Manitoba. Lord, during this tumult, we pray for  your protection and provision for his family. In Jesus Name, Amen.

On October 19th, 2009, Greg Selinger became Manitoba’s 21st Premier.
