Hallowed is your name above all and your kingdom has no end. We thank you for our mothers, those living and those that have passed away. We thank you for our children and our spouses. We give thanks for our homes, our health, our income, and our privilege to serve as legislators. Father God, we recognize we cannot take a single breath without you. You are our provider. You forgive our iniquities 2019-05-13 House Journal Page 0988 time and time again. So, we ask for the strength to forgive those around us in the same manner. Father God, help us to recognize our calling as an opportunity to be able to make a difference, and we ask that we not take it lightly. Yet, as we work alongside our colleagues remind us of their need to represent their district with the same individuality and passion as we represent our own. Father God, heal the broken hearts of the foster child, give them a stable and loving environment. Provide them hope and an answer to their prayers. We pray for the unborn child in this world, that their lives are not for naught. Give assurance to the recovering addict and a lighted path to those that are still lost. We pray for our children and grandchildren that they can grow and learn to become productive and giving in nature. Father God, we ask that you watch over this session, keep us humble and civil. It is in Jesus' name I pray. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Revak.
