The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr. as follows:

Our thought for today is from Lamentations 3:57: "You came near when I called you, and you said, 'Do not fear'."
Let us pray. O Lord our God, in the world You have created, You also give us protection from the violence and unruly nature of human kind. Inspire us to rely on You to take away our fear and give us wisdom and courage to work through all the evil that surrounds us. Keep us safe. Bless our Nation, President, State and leaders. Hold our defenders of freedom in Your care. O Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

At 10:08 a.m. the House in accordance with the ruling of the SPEAKER adjourned to meet at 12:00 noon, Tuesday, April 26.
