I praise you because you give the ability to overcome. It’s not by our own hands that we overcome, it is by your strength and light that we are able to find victory because you love us. So I ask you for help and that you bring clarity today. Your Bible says, in [Psalm 44:3 NIV] 3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. I ask that you please keep our Senators, their staff, and their families safe while they are traveling back and forth from Juneau. And I ask that you give them wisdom, peace, and strength as they make good decisions for the people in our great State of Alaska. In Jesus name, Amen. 2024-05-01 Senate Journal Page 2388 Senator Claman led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
