NO. 35
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2023
________
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 Mark 9:50: "Salt is good: but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another."
Let us pray. Eternal God, You who never gives up on us and always opposes evil, we thank You for Your steadfast love and mercy. Loving God, thank You for giving us daily bread. Help us to give to others that they may also be given daily bread. Guide us through this day. Care for our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us. Send Your blessings upon our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Bestow Your blessings on our men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
