Our thought for today is from Psalms 62:8: "Put your trust in God always, O People, pour out your hearts before the one who is our refuge."
Let us pray. Good and gracious God, inspire these Representatives to always put their trust in You as they do the work for the people. Give them courage, wisdom, and integrity to accomplish how they are to carry out the work before them. Lead them to trust in You as the source of life. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Bless and protect our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
