First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

SIXTEENTH DAY, Wednesday, February 5, 2003

         Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

         Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.

           Heavenly Father, gracious and kind, it is written: “Let integrity and honesty preserve me,” even so preserve us as we endeavor to follow Your path of integrity and honesty.

           Lord God, help us to keep clear lines of communication open; transcending our own intellect with Your wisdom.

           May anything compromising truth be uncovered; exposed and disposed of. Provide us the energy and endurance to prevail over long exhausting days and the soundness of mind to make proper decisions.

           Heavenly Father, may our words, thoughts, and intent of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight.

           In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.

         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
