Dear Heavenly Father, As we move into the last days of session, help each of us be more aware of the concerns of Alaskans across the state. Keep our minds clear, help us be respectful to each other, and give us patience to really listen to each others' point of view and consider them before making final decisions. Our staff is an important part of our team and we need to thank them for how hard they have been working for us. All being said and done, we just need your help, heavenly Father, to just get through these last days. The stress can get pretty 2010-04-05 House Journal Page 2010 high sometimes so we need your help to keep it at a low level. It's wonderful to know you can really do this if we but ask. Thank you for all you do for us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Seaton.
