MLA Nahanni Fontaine, St. Johns

Lord I lift up MLA Nahanni Fontaine to you Lord.  I pray Lord that Your Will would be done in and through her. I pray Lord that it would be Your Agenda Lord and not hers.  I pray Lord that You will instruct her and teach her in the way she should go.  That You would counsel her with Thine eye upon her.

As a young girl and teen, Nahanni Fontaine made Winnipeg’s North End her home. Since then she has since spent much of her political activism and career strengthening the voices of Indigenous women and girls. Before entering politics, Nahanni worked as Special Advisor on Aboriginal Women’s Issues for the Indigenous Issues Committee of Cabinet of Manitoba, with a special focus on Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). She also worked as an Environmental Researcher for Sagkeeng First Nation and taught in the Native Studies department at the University of Manitoba. Nationally, her work has been at the forefront of raising awareness on MMIWG, while locally, she has coordinated an unprecedented network of advocacy and support for MMIWG families. For this work, she was honoured with the Governor-General’s Award in Commemoration of the Persons Case in 2013.

We ask Lord that you would give him wisdom in his current position and office. We ask for a hedge of protection around him as he goes about his daily duties. We pray that he would be quickened and moved by Your Spirit to take a stand on matters that are difficult to stand for.  Help him to be discerning in his everyday decisions and may he seek to draw daily from your hand of guidance.  In Jesus name Amen
