Eternal Father, always ready to help those who call upon You, make us more sensitive to the teachings of Your Word and incline our wills to do Your will that with clear vision and courageous minds we may move unfalteringly into this day. Make of us a blessing to all the citizens of this great State that all may live together happily, harmoniously, helping one another. We pray for minds strong enough, for hearts with courage enough, and for minds willing enough to rightly serve this age. Make us sufficiently wise to do the things we ought to do. In all the business of this day, enable us to hear clearly the voice from heaven saying: "Be still and know that I am God". Amen.
