So on behalf of the many Alaskans across our state, I want you to know we appreciate you, and are praying for you and your families. With that being said, I am honored to offer the following prayer: Father God, I thank you for this beautiful state of Alaska that you have created. I thank you for the wonderful people of Alaska that make this place so special, and I thank you for these representatives here who give and serve so much in order to help make Alaska what it is, a place we all get to call home. 2024-05-06 House Journal Page 2672 I ask that you would bless each person that is represented today. I ask that you would pour out your favor and provision upon them and their families. And I also pray for protection over them. I also come before you now asking that you would grant them all here the wisdom required to govern rightly, that you would give them the strength and endurance to labor diligently on behalf of those they serve, and grant them the grace necessary to work through disagreements to reach solutions for the good of all Alaskans. I pray all of these things in your name, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Rauscher.
