Dear God, we would ask that while we have that right and that we exercise it, that we would exercise it with restraint, Lord; and that which is necessary would be said, but that which is unnecessary would be withheld and that we would look for the good, the ultimate good, for the people of this state, rather than any individual praise or any individual notoriety.
