Thank you, God, for the bright colors of this season, for longer days, for the beauty of your creation that is seen in each sign of freshness and new life. In the final days of this regular session I ask that you bless our senators with energy and the stamina they will need as they decide the best course to follow for all Alaskans. Gift them with wisdom, clarity, and understanding. They have said yes to a daunting task: to represent the Alaskan people. At times when there are stalemates and no solution seems to be in sight, I ask you to give them discerning hearts and guide them to make good decisions. With your guidance and your grace empower them to continue to take on their work with confidence. Bless them also with a sense of joy in accomplishment and the satisfaction of being able to make a difference in the lives of the people they serve. I humbly ask all of this in the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2018-04-09 Senate Journal Page 2536 Senator Hoffman led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
