Document:
Our thought for today is from Isaiah 30:18: "Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you."
Let us pray. Creator God, help us rebuild our lives according to Your holy design. Give these Representatives the will and courage to do what is necessary for the people of this State to thrive. Give them grace, give them courage, and give them integrity so that all may know what is important for us. Let us be Your hand to accomplish all You ask, for the good of all people. Keep them safe as they return home to their families. Protect and defend our first responders and those who 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.
