Heavenly Father, we trust in You and through Your mercy we are not shaken. Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength for we speak of Your praise and power.

Although many may criticize and sneer at the decisions we make in this Chamber, we shamelessly seek to fulfill our due service to You, this state, and our constituents.

Help us to celebrate the splendor of changing seasons, the necessity of opposing views, and the liberty to speak our passions.
