Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

Our gracious and loving Heavenly Father, we worship You and thank You that You have revealed Your heart to us through Your Son.

We come at the beginning of this working legislative session to ask that Your wisdom and guidance prevail.

We confess that too often we are self–seeking. Forgive us and help us to exercise authority in a way pleasing to You.

Throughout the course of this day, remind us that every aspect of life is from Your hand.

In these challenging days, help us to see all the issues of life, faith, and freedom through Your eyes. Guide each of these elected representatives to lead our nation in right paths.

We acknowledge our dependence upon You. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power, and the glory, and the majesty and splendor, for everything in heaven and on earth is Yours.

Hear our prayers. May Your blessing be upon our nation, in Jesus name, Amen.
