By Your spirit, guide each of these Representatives and staff to give their best in providing this State with every good deed. Bless and keep our defenders of freedom and first responders safe in Your loving arms. Almighty God, source of all being, bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of their time and effort to this State and her people. 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.
