Thank You, Lord, that by Your power You have                                  
given us everything we need for life and godliness

So we ask today, as Your servant Paul asked long                              
ago, that You would give us Your spirit of wisdom                              
and revelation so we may know You better. We                                   
need Your wisdom for the decisions that will be                                
made today.                                                                    
                                                                               
We need Your revelation to know You and Your                                  
will for us, as individuals, and as a state. Lord, I                           
ask for these blessings so that the Senators and                               
everyone here may be godly people who have true                                
life in You.                                    Amen.
