With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer according to my faith tradition: Heavenly Father, in Jesus' name I come to you. I ask you to guide this prayer as you guide the Alaska Legislature. Lord, please lead this body in ways making us pleasing in your sight. Make each day our best day, one that honors you and builds a greater Alaska serving its citizens well. By your grace I bless you by submitting to your will. Father, I choose to trust in you with all my heart, doubting myself, in all my way pursuing you, and fully trusting you to direct me in the way I shall go (paraphrasing Proverbs 3:5-6). I pray this also for this great body of legislators. In Christ Jesus' name, Amen.
