NO. 12
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2019
________
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Proverbs 19:21: "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
Let us pray. All-knowing God, give these Representatives and staff faith to listen to You when our plans are disrupted, knowing that You have a greater purpose for our life. Bless each of these Representatives and staff as they go into the weekend. Give them a time to reflect on their lives and have the time to relax and enjoy the fruits of the spirit. Bestow Your blessings on our defenders of freedom and first responders. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. 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.
