Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

Heavenly Father, in the name of my resurrected Savior, I come before Your presence to thank and praise You for Your goodness, mercy, grace and love that You extend to us everyday.

Thank You for the honor and privilege of living in this great country. Thank You for our freedom, for the ability to worship and serve You freely. Allow us to always honor You and Your ways. I pray for the mothers, fathers and children of this nation. I pray for the schools, government agencies and businesses.

God, I beseech Your throne this day on behalf of these prominent leaders of our nation. Give them Your truth, direction; Your wisdom and power.
I pray for each of these Congressmen, their families and the people they represent.

Lord God, I give You praise for what You have done, what you are doing and what you are going to do. Amen.
