With deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer. In so praying, I invite each person here to call to mind that which they consider the sacred in their life and in their own spiritual tradition. Calling on the sacred, we pray for our leaders that they will be filled with wisdom, and that their hearts will hold with care all that they are responsible for. We pray for ourselves, as Alaskans, as we seek to partner with these, our leaders, so that all of us together may work toward a government that provides justly for the needs of all in our state. We pray for ourselves and our leaders that we will exercise great care in stewardship of all the bounty that is our responsibility. May it be so.
