REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2019
________
The House assembled at 10:OO a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Jeremiah 31:35: "Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-The Lord of Host is His name."
Let us pray. Almighty God, You have called each of us to service for the people of this State. May we be guided by Your Spirit to carry the burdens of the day to fulfill the desires of God. Bless each as they go about their duties this weekend. Keep us safe and secure knowing You are always with us. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Look in favor upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who contribute to the success of this Assembly. 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.
