Indicates New Matter

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 Micah 4:2: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths."
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, provide us with the full amount of Your grace and protection. Lead us to the mountain of Your love and caring as we continue to serve the people of this State. Comfort us in times of need and fill us with compassion in our relationships. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
