May each one of them walk in their gifting and callings as they move forward in this legislative session; speaking boldly the thoughts and visions stirring within them. "Be thou my vision, O lord of my heart. Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art Thou my best Thought, by day or by night Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.
