TENTH DAY, Monday, January 23, 2006
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
Heavenly Father, we acknowledge You this evening and declare You are our Rock, our Fortress, our Hope, and our Confidence. Our praise is continually of You.
You answer us according to Your goodness, mercy and the greatness of Your compassion. We are so grateful that You do not turn away from us when we call on Your Name.
Lord God, may Your hand be our source of strength and guidance: a strong foundation for every decision made this week.
Expand our capacity to serve. May we be sensitive to the needs of those around us, be thankful for our gifts; and may You grant us the wisdom to use them for the betterment of all.
Now may the grace of our Lord rest and abide with us all; to Him be the glory both now and forever.
For it’s in the name of Your Son we pray. Amen and amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
