Let us pray. Bless, O Lord, these Representatives and staff as they go about the duties and responsibilities of caring for the people of this State. May they search their heart to find the way of honoring the office they have been chosen to serve. Bless the leaders of this great Nation and State. Give these people the tools to accomplish the work of Your hands. 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 suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
