Our thought for today is from Matthew 5:13: "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, it is no longer good for anything."
Let us pray. In Your infinite wisdom and caring, You have called these people as special, to do the work for the people of this State. Direct them to be the salt as they lead in creating laws that will be for the advantage of the people of this State. Keep them in Your love and care. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who work in this Vineyard. Protect and keep them as they return home and give them rest and relaxation to return for another week of work. Bless our first responders and those who defend us at home and abroad. 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.
