     Dear God, the All-Power and Presence of the Universe,                                          
                                                                                                    
     Open our hearts and minds to Your fullness today.  Let the                                     
     abundant goodness that You are providing to each of Your                                       
     loved children be evident to us.  Let us know that Your                                        
     righteous judgment is supreme and that we reflect Your                                         
     nature.  Therefore, the wisdom, intelligence, and perspicacity                                 
     needed to legislate and govern equitably and efficiently are                                   
     ours as Your expression.                                                                       
                                                                                                    
     Keep us focused on Your will so that fear, selfishness,                                        
     impatience, or ignorance cannot deceive us into believing that                                 
     You are not all, and that You do not have a satisfactory                                       
     answer for every problem that comes before us.  Let us be still                                
     to hear Your voice and then follow Your direction.

     updated results and strategies with measurable objectives that will                            
      indicate whether the Council is progressing on its objectives.

     domestic violence and sexual assault.  The Council needs to                                    
     establish a plan to ensure continued public input on the state's
