We pray for Your guidance in discerning the best way for these Representatives to strive in doing what is good and right for the people of this State. With deep gratitude, we give thanks for Your direction this week. Keep our leaders of Nation and State in Your love and care. Give these folks who have worked so hard this week, a restful respite from their labor. 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 who have sacrificed and suffered for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
