         Prayer by Reverend Donald W. Lammers.

          Lord our God, we thank You for the blessing of a society where every vote counts.

          We give thanks for the thousands of votes in the past elections that placed us in public office. We pray for the wisdom and the courage today to participate in the political life of the State of Missouri in ways that are always in harmony with Your Holy will.

          We pray for the people, the citizens of our state. Give them the vision that every voice matters in the public forum, and that every vote has meaning. Inspire them on this voting Tuesday to prove themselves faithful citizens by going to the polls to vote. In this simple act, help them experience their personal dignity, their individual power, and the fulfillment of their duty before all the people and even before their God.

          When the voting is over, give us the humility to discern the meaning of the results. May those results help us to continue our work in this House of Representatives in harmony with Your will.

          We pray to You, who are our God forever and ever. Amen.

         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
