NO. 22
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 Jeremiah 23:28: "Let the one who has My Word speak it faithfully."
Let us pray. God, so many claim to speak for You these days. Help us learn what You really have to say. Make us sensitive to Your Spirit, not the spirit of the world. Put into the hearts and minds of these Representatives and staff the desire to listen to Your call and use what You have given to further benefit the people they serve. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us. Send Your Spirit of truth to our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of themselves to this Institution. 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.
