The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Senator Kelly. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. (Psalm 33:12) And so Father we come to you and proclaim you are God and there is no other. You are the everlasting God. You do not grow weak or tired and no one can plumb the depths of your understanding. You created the universe with a simple act of your will and we exalt you and we join with the seraphim as they cry out to you day and night: holy, holy, holy. To whom shall we compare you God? You are the creator, you are the protector, you are the shield, and you are the sustainer for those who are called by your name. Father, we are your people and we stand before you in awe and we turn to you in these troubled times and seek your protection and favor. And because you are a loving father you beckon us to come: to seek protection in the safety of your household. 2014-04-12 Senate Journal Page 2418 Father as we stand in your presence we seek your mercy. We cannot stand in the fearful reality of your justice because we are guilty. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are saved. Father, our righteousness is but filthy rags, however, we are righteous, because of the work done at the cross by your son. So we run to you, we enter into your throne room with the boldness of children running into their family home. And as we approach you we pray a prayer of protection. Because we live in the secure places of the most high God, we find constant protection in the presence of God almighty. This we declare about the Lord. You alone are our safety and our place of protection. You are our God and we trust you. You protect us from every snare and trap and you cover us like mother hen covers her babies under the protection of her wings. Your faithful promises are our armor and protection. We will not live in fear. Though thousands may fall around us, evil will not overtake us. We will look on as spectators as those who do not trust in our God are left unprotected and perish. Because we have made you our most high God you will answer us when we call. You will send your angels to protect us so we won't be hurt in any way. You give us salvation and long life and when our days have come to an end, we will not fear death because we will live in the household of God. Forever. Amen. Senator Bishop led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. 2014-04-12 Senate Journal Page 2419 Certification Senator Coghill moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the eighty-first legislative day be approved as certified by the Secretary.
