Lord God Creator, our heavenly Father and Mother, send down upon those who hold office in this state of Alaska, and also our nation, the spirit of wisdom, charity, and justice, that with steadfast purpose they may faithfully serve in their offices to promote the well-being of all people. Creator, be with all Your people as they labor for You. Protect our fishermen during this fishing season and give them a bountiful catch. Bless those who work in the fields; give us favorable weather and grant that all may share in the fruits of the earth. Bless all those in this great state of Alaska who must depend upon the subsistence of their lands for their lives and the lives of their families, that they may receive fulfillment and just payment for their labors. Bless those who 2005-04-21 House Journal Page 1180 are poor and neglected, excluded and imprisoned, that they may be given the comfort of Your healing in body and mind and spirit. Creator, let this place be a sanctuary for all who enter and work in it, and guide their thoughts and actions and let their good works spread beyond the four walls and directions, honoring all who enter and share their gifts of culture, education, justice, and peace. To our Creator we pray, and may His holy spirit dwell among us and this place forever. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Cissna.
