God, we first give thanks to You for this opportunity to gather as servants of goodwill and equality for the citizens of this great state. We pause to give honor to those who led our great nation during moments of independence and emancipation. We reflect upon the accomplishments and achievements of a people who have persevered through weary years and silent tears; storms of slavery and segregation; pitfalls of poverty and persecution, and valleys of injustice and oppression. We celebrate the courage and conviction of a people who continue to overcome in the face of seen and unseen obstacles that rise on every leaning side.

God, we ask You today to give us guidance and direction as we deliberate over the affairs that are in the best interest for all of Missouri. We are here today to render opinions which we feel are for the good of our constituents, but ultimately we want to render opinions that are pleasing and acceptable in Your divine judgement. Therefore God, we petition You now to endow us with wisdom, charity, integrity and purpose, as we move from being a people who must be SHOWN to now being a people who SHOW what justice and equality for all people truly is. Endow us today with minds of rationality and hearts of benevolence as we grapple with issues that shape not only the urban streets, but also the suburban cul-de-sacs and rural plains. Endow us now with a consciousness that will push us beyond the fiscal bottom line and force us to address the whole story from every perspective. With Your help, we can make this state a GATEWAY to a level playing field for all who pass through.
