The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
The Psalmist writes:
"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night." (Psalm 92:1-2)
Pray with me if you will, please:
Loving Lord, we do give You heartfelt praise and thanksgiving. You have indeed blessed this Senate with Your faithfulness throughout the year. We thank You for Your guidance, for Your divine wisdom and for Your patience. We ask that You continue to hold these Senators in Your gentle embrace, dear God. Support them as they and their staff members diligently labor with weighty and significant matters, striving to tie up loose ends and to experience the satisfaction that comes from knowing they've done many things that are worthwhile. Moreover, through all of this Body's accomplishments, may Your grace be made known throughout this State, and may her citizens be strengthened by Your blessings. This we pray in Your loving name, Lord.
Amen.
