Our thought for today is from Psalm 126:3: "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad indeed!"
Let us pray. Give these Representatives the spirit of perseverance as they make the decisions that will be for the good of all our people. We are grateful for the many wonderful things You have provided for us. Give these Representatives the will and desire to do for the people of this State the good things You have in mind for us. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
