Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
O God our Father, eternal in wisdom, power and goodness, above us yet Who seeks to be within us, Who keeps the planets in their courses but mindful of the faintest whisper of the human thought, we bow in reverence and in awe as we contemplate the grandeur of Your being and Your love for us which is from everlasting to everlasting the same. Keep us restless until we find peace in You, weak until we find strength in You, dissatisfied until we are busy doing Your will. May we always think clearly, speak confidently and act wisely to the end that our State becomes better today than yesterday because of our devotion to our work.
Be the sure Source of comfort and consolation to the families and friends of Jacquelyn Holt and Cynthia Purvis. In this and in every time of crisis and sorrow, undergrid us all with the confident assurance that You are always near to console us with Your ever-present love and to uphold us by Your never-failing presence.
