    who we are today and who we will be tomorrow as a state.  I                                                                 
    pray that each person here would see the honor of being a part                                                              
    of that picture.  I pray that they would serve this state and                                                               
    their constituents with hearts of integrity; that each legislator                                                           
    would be known and remembered for their honesty and                                                                         
    commitment to justice.                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                
    Lord, I thank you that these sessions are still started with                                                                
    prayer.  I thank you that these legislators are reminded daily                                                              
    of the importance of seeking the counsel of God in the affairs                                                              
    of this state.  Proverbs 19:21 tells us:  Many are the plans in a                                                           
    man's heart, but the counsel of the Lord, it will stand.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                
    I seek your face this morning for this body.  I trust that you                                                              
    will lead them forward in your counsel.  In the name of your                                                                
    Son, Jesus Christ, I lift this prayer.  Amen.
