We begin this day in Your name, O God, Father,                                
Son and Holy Spirit, Amen. We thank You for the

You have entrusted us with great responsibilities.                             
Make us equal to the tasks that have been given us                             
by the citizens of this state. Give us modesty as we                           
think of our abilities and ourselves. Help us to trust                         
always in Your wisdom and the ability that You                                 
give.  As we meet together and counsel with one                                
another use our deliberations to accomplish Your                               
purpose for our state and the people living in it.                             
Help us to work together in harmony and love for                               
one another. Give us a concern for the common                                  
good, and the wisdom to understand what that is.                               
Give us Your peace, the peace that comes to us in                              
and through Jesus Christ. As His peace lives in our                            
hearts, may we then be people of peace and good                                
will in our dealings with one another. In the name                             
of Jesus Christ.                                Amen.
