Our thought for today is from Isaiah 40:14: "Who was it that taught you knowledge or showed you the path of understanding?"
Let us pray. Lord God of heaven and earth, we beseech You to give us the guidance, wisdom, and integrity to think and do the work which shall be for the good of all people in this State. And in our work, encourage us to reach for the best. In our prayers, we ask for Your blessing upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear our prayer, O Lord. Amen.
