Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 29:11: "May the Lord give strength to his people; may the Lord bless his people with peace."
Let us pray. Loving God, grace us with Your truest gift. Give us strength and peace as we weather the challenges and setbacks of our ever-changing lives. Provide for each the energy and strength to accomplish the duties set before them. Bestow Your strength, wisdom, and courage upon our President, Governor, Speaker, and staff during this time of service. 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.
