    men and women who are representing the people of the state

    judgment, standing for truth and freedom, justice and                                           
    principle.  We live in critical times for Alaska, for the                                       
    country, for the world.  May we look to You as the one who                                      
    has the remedy to all of our problems and needs, and may we                                     
    be worthy of the office to which we have been entrusted.  In                                    
    Thy name we pray.  Amen.
