(The increased security measures being discussed for this state Capitol building, suggest prayer for unity in the human family)

Almighty God, Creator of all and Father of the human family, we adore and honor You today.

We acknowledge that the human family is unable to live together as a family. We repent of any guilt we bear personally in this matter.

Keep safe all who enter the doors of this state Capitol. They often enter side by side with others whom they do not know. We pray for the day when all enter together with respect for and a desire to work with one another; we pray for the day when no one will enter with hatred for or fear of others.

Change the hearts of those who would hate or seek the harm of others. Give them hearts of respect for the dignity of every person; give them hearts that seek true justice.

If we have attitudes of arrogance or superiority or any other negative attitude that becomes an excuse for or tempts others to hatred, heal us, Lord God; give us true love of neighbor.

Mark Lamping, President of the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Team was introduced by Representative Wright-Jones and presented a resolution congratulating the St. Louis Cardinals for winning the 2006 World Series.
