Respecting the fact that there are diverse religious beliefs represented here today, I appreciate the invitation to open your session with a word of prayer: Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. (Psalm 86:11-12) Dear Lord, Thank you that I can come before you today on behalf of this legislative body. I pray that you would help them in their deliberations today to be men and women of integrity, exercising a respect for the worth and value of their fellow representatives. I ask that you would give them wisdom and 2020-03-03 House Journal Page 1756 discernment in their deliberations and that any laws created by this body would be good for our state. Lord, I pray for the decisions that our national leaders are making in respect to the corona virus. Help them to know and put in place whatever guidelines and measures are needed to protect us. I ask for your grace for those who are infected, and for your mercies to be on the families of the victims. Help them in their loss. I ask that you would give those who are creating the vaccine the ability to get that out to the public as soon as possible. I ask you to protect the people of Alaska in this outbreak. Help citizens not to panic or over react in this difficult time. I lift this prayer in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Spohnholz.
