Lord, we thank You for the privilege of living in this great nation with the rich Christian heritage, whereby we proclaim that we are one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Lord, we pray for righteousness to prevail over corruption, we pray for Your intervention in all the affairs of government. We pray that You will give our President, and the leadership in Washington wisdom in all the decisions they make today. We also ask for Your protection for our troops abroad, and for Your grace and comfort to extend to their families. Lord, grant wisdom to the Senate today in all their deliberations, give them strength, insight and understanding as they deal with each issue. We also pray that Your protection and peace will be with their families. God, we ask that the State of Alaska will be recognized by its righteousness, prosperity and peace. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 2004-04-05 Senate Journal Page 2772 Senator Stedman led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
