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 Psalm 119:133: "Keep my steps steady according to your promise, and never let iniquity have dominion over me."
Let us pray. Lord God, You have indeed given these Representatives and staff the ability to listen and offer up all that they are, all they might become, by trusting in You completely for Your steadfast love and faithfulness. With humility and courage, with clarity and conviction, may they continue the work to completion. For our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who serve, may Your love and faithfulness embrace them. 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.
