Prayer by Reverend Rudy Beard.

Heavenly Father, we bow before You in thanksgiving for the gifts that are ours. Help these Your servants, the men and women of the House, and their staff, to make good use of the gifts that You give.

And we ask You to keep Your still, small voice within us. Do not let us give up on the things that matter. Give to these who lead our state the ability to sort out the true from the false.

To You be glory and honor. Amen.
