With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of Alaskans, I offer the following prayer. God of all there is, we thank you for this opportunity to gather together in one another's company. We thank you for the light you bring to this body. Please grant us the vision to see the highest in one another, and grant us the opportunity to continue to be there for each other in good times, as well as hard times. Give us strength and fortitude to ride the tides of change, and empower us always to be nurturing and loving with one another. Open our spiritual eyes that we may see one another for who we truly are, and love one another in the same spirit. May sadness, disappointment, and anger be minimal; may happiness, positive thoughts, and good experiences together be bountiful. May we always cope and hope with each other 2016-04-04 House Journal Page 2034 with grace. Bless our families, bless our military and their families, and grant peace to those suffering. We thank you for our many blessings in your name. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Tilton.
