Oh, God, Creator of the Universe, we joyfully praise you on this day that you have given to us. We thank you for the many blessings and gifts you have given to us as individuals, as a legislative body and as citizens of our great state. We acknowledge your power and your mercy in our lives and in all that we do. We humbly approach you on this day as we prepare to go about doing the work of government. We have been called and elected to positions where power can go to our heads, where greed can force its way into our thinking and desires, where egos can run amok. We pray on this day that you clear our minds and hearts so that, as we do this important work, we will always acknowledge your guidance. We pray that we will keep in mind the needs of the people of this state, from the poorest to the wealthiest. We pray that we seek justice and mercy in all that we do. 2010-04-15 Senate Journal Page 2356 I pray these things in your name, O loving and living God. Amen.
