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 Isaiah 61:8: "For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them."
Let us pray. Most holy and merciful God, we give thanks for Your covenant relationship with Your people. As You have guided us and shown us the way to peace and everlasting grace, entrust these people with Your blessing to carry out the responsibilities of the office to which they have been elected. In Your boundless mercy, bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear us as we pray, gracious God. Amen.
