With deepest respect for the religious beliefs of each person here, I invite you into a time of reflection and prayer: Beginning where I did four months ago by reading from the 2nd chapter of Proverbs, beginning with the 1st verse, where wisdom is calling out to us: My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord 2025-05-19 House Journal Page 1310 and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Let us pray: Father, as we near the close of this session, guide our efforts and give us grace so that the wisdom we have sought and spoken will take root in our hearts and guide our steps forward. Draw us together in a spirit of grace - your grace - which is a gift and a duty. Hold us together in your presence, so that we do not serve alone, but as one body, bound by trust, purpose, and care for all. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Hall.
