Our Lord and Creator, On this spectacularly                                   
beautiful day here in Southeast Alaska, we stand in                            
awe of Your creation. Help us to be good stewards                              
of this great land. Watch over these men and                                   
women in their deliberations.                                                  
                                                                               
We pray for those Alaskans who are mentally ill.                              
They are among the most vulnerable and the most                                
underserved people in this state. Grant us the                                 
wisdom and the desire to provide the care they so                              
desperately need.                                                              
                                                                               
We continue to pray for Roger McKowan, for                                    
courage, strength, patience, and healing. We pray for                          
those people and those causes we name in our                                   
hearts now.                                   Amen.
