Dear Father, We come in unison to Thee this morning to affirm that the solutions we seek to this day's problems are already 1998-03-09 House Journal Page 2560 established. 'That which is to be hath already been' because You are the 'author and finisher' of all things. It is not our job to create. Our job is to listen for Your voice and witness to Your revelations. Our work is to diligently lay aside personalities and temptations that suggest You are not in complete control; that suggest there are no answers to some questions. We humbly ask and expect to receive the ideas You have for us knowing 'that before we call You will answer.' Divine love illumines the path we walk today and nothing can detour us from our successful destination." The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Barnes.
