Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Father, I pray and bring before You this morning the men and women of this Senate, and I pray, Father, that Your spirit would rest upon them in a very, very special way. May You grant them skillful and Godly wisdom. May it fill their hearts, enabling them to think clearly and to decide decisively. May they have the insight for each challenge that lies before them today, and for how to vote for each crucial piece of legislation that comes before them. May these hours of discussion and debate bring exposure to truth and resolution. And then, finally, Father, I ask that You would bless these men and women with a measure of strength for the demanding schedule that they must keep here and for the schedule for their personal commitments that they have made to those they love. We pray that in Jesus' name. Amen. Senator Ogan led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. 2003-04-30 Senate Journal Page 1042 Certification Senator Ben Stevens moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the ninety-ninth legislative day be approved as certified by the Secretary.
