Our thought for today is from Jeremiah 29:9: "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."
Let us pray. Father in heaven, lead us this day with the understanding that we are guided by the Lord Almighty. He blesses us with the power of His love for us to do and say what is good for us. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for us. By the arm of God, we are rewarded for those things He gives us. We ask for your guidance as we go through the day of service to our Nation and State. Bless our World, Nation, President, State, Governor Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in these halls of government. Bless and protect our men and women of our Armed Forces as they protect us. Remember those with hidden wounds. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
