Second Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly
THIRTIETH DAY, Friday, February 24, 2006
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Representative Deeken in the Chair.
Prayer by Chris Dunn, Legislative Information Coordinator, Office of the Speaker.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the beauty of this day and for the privilege of serving You. You are kind beyond belief and Your goodness to man is beyond compare.
It is written in the Book of Proverbs for us to know that wisdom is sweet to our soul. If we find it, there is a future hope for us, and our hope will not be cut off.
Today we pray for two things. First, we pray for wisdom and ask that You would grant it. We ask You to grant wisdom to our leaders, our legislators, our families and to us. That we might be servants to everyone around us and so that we can live according to Your ways.
Secondly, we pray for the hope that comes from finding wisdom. Without hope it is hard to see anything but despair. In Your faithfulness Lord, please grant hope today to those who need it in our state.
In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
