Our Father God, as we confront unfinished tasks calling for courage and wisdom, pour upon those entrusted with the stewardship of our beloved state's welfare a double portion of Your enabling power. May no ugly thought or speech spoil the tapestry of our united efforts.

And to You, Lord, we give our glory and honor. Amen.
