There being no objection, it was so ordered. It is with the deepest respect for all Alaskans, I offer this prayer: Father God in Heaven, Good Morning! Hallowed is your name above all and your kingdom has no end. We come to you with offerings of thanksgiving, prayer, and petition. Thank you for your son, who died on the cross that we may live with you eternally in heaven. As we assemble here, for what may be the last time in this session, we have so much to be thankful for. We give thanks for our homes, our health, our families, and for our privilege to serve here as legislators. Father God, we recognize we cannot take a single breath without you. You are our provider. You forgive our iniquities time and time again. So, we ask for the strength to forgive those around us in the same manner. 2022-05-18 House Journal Page 3052 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. We pray for the children of this state, that we enable them so they can grow and learn to become productive and giving in nature. Father God, heal the broken hearts of the foster child, give them a stable and loving environment. Provide them with hope and an answer to their prayers. We pray for the unborn child, that their lives will be allowed to have meaning and purpose in this world. Give assurance to the recovering addict and a lighted path to those that are still lost. Those in prison, we ask that they are not forgotten and that your word comfort them each passing day. We lift up the elderly, help us understand how to provide for their necessities. For our state, we pray a covering of prosperity and let it be a warm and inviting home to all those wishing to settle here. We ask that you watch over this floor session, keep us humble and civil. Help us to begin now with the Love of the Father, the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Patkotak. CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL The journal for the 120th legislative day was not certified.
