In deepest reverence for the beliefs of all Alaskans, I invite you into a time of reflection on our solemn covenant as servants of the people: Our Father, creator of all, we praise your name. You have demonstrated insight when we have been blind, grace when we have been belligerent, and holiness when we have acted dishonorably. We invoke your divine guidance on the people of this chamber. You have placed a great burden of service and stewardship upon them. We ask for strength and resolution in the tasks before them. Help inspire them to create in your image a state known not just for the immense beauty but also for a people of grace, equity, and unity. Protect us all from the pettiness of partisanship, but preserve the courage of our conscious. Open our hearts and minds to 2024-05-02 House Journal Page 2604 respect for you and your creation, including the dignity of the human soul. Teach us as a people to pursue justice, extend mercy, and to love not only our neighbors, but our enemies as well. This we pray and petition, not to our glory, Lord, but to you and you alone.
