            Prayer by Chris Dunn, Legislator Assistant to Representative Marilyn Ruestman.


              Father in Heaven,


              In the Psalms, it is written:


Praise the Lord, all you nations;

extol Him, all you peoples.

For great is His love toward us,

and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.

Praise the Lord. (Psalm 117)


              Today we praise You for ruling the nations and showing us each day the great love You have for us and the faithfulness You provide that sustains us.


              We thank You as well for the privilege to serve here in this building and ask You to give us wisdom in the decisions we make and help us to protect the rights and freedoms we hold dear.


              In Your name we pray. Amen.
