REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2021
________
The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Romans 8:26: "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words."
Let us pray. Come Holy Spirit, help us in our weakness and sustain us with faith that trusts Your never-failing care. Lord God, You are the Ruler of all creation and we, Your servants, have the responsibility to care for all that You O Lord have created. May we care for all You have given to us. Bless and protect our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us. Look in favor on our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and those who labor in these Halls of Government. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your Mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
