Second Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly
TWENTY-SECOND DAY, Monday, February 13, 2006
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
You, Lord, are our God! You hear us when we lift our voices to You. You, alone, have the power to fulfill all of our petitions and to keep us calm in every situation.
We know that ultimately we are accountable to You for each decision and act, so lead us in the way of truth and guide us by Your eye and strong right hand.
May Your hand of healing be upon loved ones who may be ill, Your hand of guidance on spouses managing households and civic responsibilities, Your hand of comfort upon our children who miss us dearly when we are away, and Your hand of prudent direction on each of us as we proceed with this week’s agenda.
Now may the Lord of Peace, Himself, continually grant us peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with us all.
For it is in the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
