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: Heavenly Creator, we praise your name. As the author of life, Father God, we lift up the men and women of this House and ask a blessing of good health, safety, and well-being that they may accomplish the noble works before them. Grant this fortification to all who serve here in the name of the people of Alaska. And to their families and loved ones, many separated by great distance and time, we ask the blessing of peace-of- mind in the knowledge their sacrifice also is to the higher cause of selfless service. 2024-05-03 House Journal Page 2644 We pray against the divisiveness that plagues our land. We humbly plead that, by your miraculous power Father, the members of this House would work together in civil humility for the good of our state. Let there be no malice between them. Even in the midst of differing opinions, positions, and beliefs, let no one doubt their fervent devotion to the state and its people. Let the world see the resolve, the strength, the ingenuity, the compassion, cooperation, and courage of all Alaska, led by the example set by the members of this House. This we pray and petition, not to our glory, Lord, but to you and you alone. I pray this in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Prax.
