With deepest respect of the beliefs of all Alaskans, we offer the following prayer. Our Father God, as we resist asking your help to get our way, we ask that you help us follow your will. We hope your will is for gas prices to be high for export and gas prices low for heating our homes and fueling new industries and businesses. And we pray as we continue to do the people's work, we do it in the spirit of togetherness. We pray this in your name. Amen. 2015-11-03 House Journal Page 1382 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Kreiss-Tomkins.
