Blessed are You, Lord God, who alone works wonders and may the whole earth be filled with Your glory. O Sovereign Lord, we are Your servants. You have only begun to show us Your greatness and power. There is none like You.

You chose us from among the people: Fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, business men and women, professionals, friends and coworkers; brought here to represent our districts, to wisely introduce and establish law and in the performance of these duties, be an example of honesty, honor and strength.

Help us in our weakness, guide us in our deliberations, instruct us in Your plans and purposes.

We join a grieving nation at the passing of a beloved American and civil rights leader, Coretta Scott King. May her family experience Your peace and comfort during this trying season in their lives.

Now may the Lord of Peace, Himself, continually grant us peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with us all.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Alyssa Mary Struemph and Alexa Erin Struemph.
