To the God of the Universe: You are with us in every time of perplexity, to point the way; you are with us in every time of sorrow, to reassure; you are with us in every time of temptation, to strengthen; you are with us in every time of loneliness, to befriend; you are with us even in death, to comfort. You know the riches of contentment, whether we are well fed or hungry, whether we enjoy plenty or want, you know it. It is us who must learn to be content whatever the circumstances. We know our wants, but you know our needs. 2009-04-11 House Journal Page 0884 Brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, if it is good for any other-put it into practice. Lord, help us, brothers and sisters all, to do great things as though they were little, to do little things as though they were great. If we have work to do, we must start this very hour; if we face a huge obstacle, we must gather our strength. If we encounter a seemingly insignificant event, we must determine to do it with excellence. Expect great things from God; and we will not be disappointed. The God of the universe is at our side every day, every hour, every minute, every second. We could ask no more than that. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Petersen.
