Dear Father,

We thank You for this day that You have given us. We ask Your blessing upon this Assembly. We ask that You give these Your servants wisdom as they make these very important decisions. We are thankful that You have promised us wisdom if we but ask and we come today asking that. Help these legislators to make decisions that are right and not expedient, because sometimes it is so easy to do that very thing.

We thank You for these who serve as Your servants in our state government and pray that You guide them. We ask all of these in the name of Christ, our Lord. Amen.
