Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Almighty God, from whom all blessings flow and to whom all praise belongs, acknowledging both our dependence upon You and our accountability to You, we ask Your blessings upon this House and all our Nation's leaders as they carry out their duties under Your sovereign rule.
Grant to the Members of this body both the wisdom to know what is right in Your eyes and the resolve to do it.
Lead them in the paths of righteousness and truth for Your name's sake, so that they may serve Your purposes in this generation.
May Your grace abound to them in both their personal and public lives so that in all things, at all times, having all that they need, they may abound in every good work.
This we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, who is before all things and in whom all things hold together.
Amen.
