Heavenly Father, may the people be glad and sing with joy, for You judge the people fairly and guide, lead, and drive all upon the Earth. Continue to show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our behalf.

May we continue to acknowledge that our strength is in You, our wisdom is from You, and our help derived from You, Creator of all things.

May we, in spite of adverse circumstance, have great respect for one another, yield to established authority and practice accountability daily. We ask that You surround us with godly counsel and wise advisors as we fulfill our obligations to the people, one another and this state.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as an Honorary Page for the Day, to serve without compensation: Scott T. Rupp, Jr.
