     solutions, develop policies, and render decisions that will                                                                
     have an impact upon all citizens of this great state of Alaska.                                                            
     It is imperative that we have a spirit of cooperation and a                                                                
     genuine willingness to find the best avenues of procedure in                                                               
     this time of difficulty and hard choices.  Unity in spirit is                                                              
     indispensable.  In the Holy Scriptures, your Word, you have

     consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should                                                                
     look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of                                                          
     others. (Phil 2:3-4)                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                
     I pray, Father, that we would be able to exemplify and live out

     making the choices and decisions concerning the issues we                                                                  
     face, and that you would grant us your wisdom with the will                                                                
     to follow it.  In all of this I pray that we would bring honor                                                             
     and glory to you in making decisions that are pleasing to you,                                                             
     in the name of your one and only son, Jesus.  Amen.
