With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskan's, I offer the following prayer: Dear God (Heavenly Father), we pray for our churches, our workplaces, our schools, and our communities. We ask for your help in being a light in every place you have given us to walk. Give us wisdom as we live and work with one another. Help us to look to another's needs before our own, and to always be ready to serve those around us by the power of your love within us. In every dark and broken place, for the times we feel like we're barely making it through, give us your joy, Lord, your grace, and the powerful presence of your peace. 2020-05-19 House Journal Page 2214 We pray for all those in authority, for every leader of our state, that you would give us your wisdom and discernment as we lead. We pray that our hearts would be directed first to you, that we would recognize where our true help and strength come from. We ask that you guard our coming and going, that you would be our refuge and our peace. We pray that you would surround every leader with wise counsel that we would be humble and kind, patient and loving through our actions and words. We pray that our faith in you would be unwavering, strong, resolute, and firm. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Jackson.
