There being no objection, it was so ordered. With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer: Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Lord, we know you do care for us…for me. As the psalmist reminds me: I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God! Help us to remember to love our neighbors, love our enemies, do good to them who show hate, give blessings to those who curse us, and pray for those who may despitefully use us. 2023-05-08 House Journal Page 0956 Always remembering your words that, whatever we do for one of the least of these, we do for you. I ask these things in your name, Lord. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Coulombe.
