In his song of praise Moses declared:

Bow in prayer with me, if you will:

Glorious Lord, we bow before You today on behalf of all who are in various leadership roles in State Government, especially these who serve and honor You in the Senate of South Carolina. May all of these servants find strength in You appropriate to the tasks before them, O God. Fill their hearts with genuine compassion for the women and men and children of our State. Give them wisdom -- true wisdom -- which leads them to make decisions and to take actions that everyone can celebrate. Equally bless our women and men in the Armed Forces, Lord. May all who serve You find strength in Your care. In Your loving name we pray.
Amen.
