Our thought for today is from Proverbs 8:22: "The Lord created me at the beginnings of his work."
Let us pray. Loving God, put Your arms around these Representatives, leaders, and staff, and make Your presence known to them as they continue their work for the people of this State. Bless them in their endeavors to do what is right and good for the State. In their deliberations, put Your wisdom into their hearts. Protect and defend our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all those who support and assist them. 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.
