The invocation was offered by Pastor Johnny Reimer of the Douglas              
Island Bible Church.  Representative Coghill moved and asked                   
unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal.  There         
being no objection, it appears below:                                          
                                                                               
Our God and Heavenly Father,                                                  
                                                                               
We pause today to give You thanks for the grace and the                       
goodness You daily direct toward us.  The blessings You                        
bestow on us are greater than can be enumerated.  Forgive us                   
where we have carried on as though You did not exist.  You                     
have given to us abundantly so that out of our abundance we                    
may give to others who are in desperate need. We                               
acknowledge our great need of Your continued favor, not to                     
do as we please, but to fulfill Your purpose for us while here                 
on earth.  We thank You for the privilege of living in a land                  
of freedom.  We pray for the leaders of our nation and our                     
state, that they will be given wisdom and that with prudence                   
they will discharge their responsibilities.  We pray for the men               
and women in our armed forces that they will be kept safe.                     
We pray for the many who are suffering because of wars.  We                    

1999-05-19                     House Journal                      Page 1646
pray for those who are persecuted for their religious beliefs or               
because of the prejudice of others.  We pray for those who                     
suffer because of the crimes brought on by sin in our world.                   
We pray that more hearts would open to the love of the Savior                  
of all people.  We ask for that measure of love and grace that                 
will lead us to give instead of only taking.  We ask that our                  
selfishness would be dissolved in Your love for us which was                   
evidenced by giving Your life for us.  As we meet others                       
today, help us to leave them better than we found them.  We                    
ask for willingness to open a little more of ourselves to Your                 
love, Your control and Your wisdom.  Through Christ, our                       
Lord, Amen.
