Journal of the House

First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

FORTIETH DAY, Tuesday, March 18, 2003

         Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

         Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.

           Heavenly Father, Gracious and Merciful, it is written: “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You”, so may we enjoy Your perfect peace as we keep our minds on You and trust You.

           In whatever we face, there is flexibility. In whatever the demand, there are resources. In whatever the question, there is an answer. So we look to Your abundant wisdom in all things.

           May You reveal Your custom-made plan for us this day and coming weeks, that we might ultimately hear, “Well done thy good and faithful servant.”

           Now may the grace of our Lord and the love of God be with us all.

           In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.

         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
