Prayer by Representative Vicky Riback Wilson.
Prayer for the Country
Sovereign of the universe, mercifully receive our prayer for our land and its government. Let Your blessing pour out on this land and on all people who are occupied, in good faith, with the public needs. Instruct them from Your laws, enable them to understand Your principles of justice, so that peace and tranquility, happiness and freedom, might never turn away from our land.
Please, Wise One, waken Your spirit within all inhabitants of our land, and plant among the people of different backgrounds and faith who dwell here, love and community, peace and friendship. Uproot from their hearts all hatred and enmity, all jealousy and vying for supremacy. Therefore let our land be a blessing.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
