Prayer by Pastor Pat Brayton, Valley Chapel, February 14, 1994:                
                                                                               
Heavenly Father, I come to You on behalf of these                             
men and women who represent us in this chamber.                                
Please work in their lives to bring about the very                             
best for them and, through them, for Alaska.  May                              
they realize Your presence with them as they fulfill                           
the duties of their office and may they be guided by                           
Your mighty hand in every action that they take.                               
                                                                               
Father, You alone know what tomorrow will bring                               
for us.  We are dependant upon You for all wisdom                              
and strength to govern.  My prayer today is that                               
every decision emanating from here will reflect the                            
light of Your counsel and be founded in Your love.                             
                                                                               
In Jesus' name I pray.			Amen.                                                
                                                                               
Prayer by Senator Sharp, February 15, 1994:                                    
                                                                               
Lord, we ask today for Your guidance in giving us                             
the patience to seek out wise solutions.  Lord, give                           
us the courage to make difficult decisions.                                    
                                                                               
Lord, give us the benevolence to recognize the                                
strengths of each legislator in this body.  And                                
finally, Lord, help us to come together and utilize                            
these virtues for the best interests of all Alaskans.                          
                                                                               
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
