Prayer by Stephen S. Davis, Chief Clerk of the House.
Our most kind and gracious Father in Heaven, at the close of this legislative session and in benediction, we express our gratitude to Thee for the opportunity of serving here and thank Thee for watching over us and blessing our efforts. We thank Thee for the freedoms, rights, and privileges we enjoy in this country and for Thy hand in establishing our Constitution and government.
We ask Thy blessings upon the members and staff of this House and upon the leaders of our state and country. Bless our President and our Governor. We pray that Thou would bless and redeem this state, so that it may fulfill its calling and potential.
We pray for Thy Spirit to distill upon our minds that we may better seek, know, and strive to bring about Thy will. Help us to have faith to seek Thy will, for we know that Thou loves us and that Thy ways are higher than our ways, and Thy thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Help us elevate our ways and our thoughts to be in harmony with Thine. For as now we see through a glass, darkly, help us open our minds, ears, and hearts to Thee, so that we will see as we are seen, and know as we are known. Please help us to serve one another and to gain and keep the true perspective of life and our purpose here.
As we part, we ask Thee to bless the members of this House to return here safely when next they meet. Please be with us till we meet again. This we pray in the name of the God of this land. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
