O Source of All Wisdom, We pause in this moment to ask Your blessing on this assembly. Cause us to remember that prayer is not a plea for assistance that is not already available to us through our hearts and our consciences. You have not made us to be puppets without hearts and minds, but rather You have given us the ability to think and have made room in our hearts for compassion in all situations. Make us willing to work hard and to think hard until the tasks before us are completed and we can look back and say that it has been a job well done. Amen.
