Representative D. Nelson had been excused from a call of the House today. The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor Chris Elliott of Radiant Church. Representative Story moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal. There being no objection, it was so ordered. Most gracious and merciful God! I come before you today with a grateful heart, and with an understanding that every session of this legislative body is, in truth, an act of stewardship before you. You, O Lord, who set the boundaries of our rugged coastline and numbered the days of every Alaskan soul, have also ordered this moment in time, and placed these men and women here with intentionality and purpose. I ask that you would grant them clarity of mind when the difficulty of their work feels overwhelming, steadiness of heart when the pressure threatens to distort their judgment, and the rare and beautiful gift of genuine humility - the kind that listens well, weighs everything carefully, and wisely chooses what is best. 2026-05-13 House Journal Page 2522 Guard them from the kind of cynicism that comes from long seasons of hard work, from the weariness that misunderstands staying busy for making progress, and from the subtle drift of placing personal advantage above the common good. I ask that you would renew their commitment to serve as Christ served - who came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom so that those entrusted into his care might flourish. I ask for your hand of blessing on the work of this day. Bless Alaska, Lord - its families, its frontiers, and its future. I ask these things in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen! The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Prax.
