Our thought for today is from Psalm 51:6: "You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart."
Let us pray. Almighty God, grant these Representatives and staff wisdom, courage, strength, and integrity as they continue to serve the people of this State. Let them know that it is Your hand that leads them in the decisions they make. Provide for them every needful thing to do their work. Look in favor upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds of our brave warriors, those seen and those unseen. Hear us, O Lord. Amen.
