In the name of the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy                          
Spirit. Amen. As this week comes to an end we thank                            
You, Heavenly Father, for all the blessings which we                           
have received from You. We thank You for progress                              
that has been made toward finishing the tasks before us.                       
We thank You for the privilege we have to serve the                            
citizens of this great state. Give us the humility to                          
acknowledge that we are servants of the people, and not                        
lords over them. We are so small and insignificant as                          
we consider the marvels of Your creation and the                               
resources You have entrusted to us. As we conclude the                         
tasks of this week, we again ask for Your blessing upon                        
our deliberations. Give us all the gifts that we need to                       
accomplish that which needs to be done, that which is                          
for the good of all. Continue to bless us with faith,                          
love, hope, peace, and joy in our service to You and                           
our fellow citizens. Give us Your peace through Jesus                          
Christ our Savior and our Lord.                   Amen.
