You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserve them all.

You are the Lord God, who called us out of our districts, and brought us here to Jefferson City to be representatives of and servants to the people. May our hearts be found faithful to You and that calling. You have performed Your words, for You are righteous. May our words be shaped by truth, integrity, and ingenuity.

You have cleared the way for us and have shown us great mercy, so we proceed, with the task at hand, without fear of failure.

Give us, Your servants, a hearing heart, a perceptive mind, and the wisdom to discern between right and wrong.

May You, God Almighty, bless us, and make the work of our hand fruitful and develop in us an understanding of Your purpose for this week.
