"And now, let us pray. God of the universe addressed by many names, but never limited by any one name. You are the great resistor of all labels. The breadth and depth of Your being are beyond the comprehension of any one individual. Limited is our understanding of Your design and purposes. Great resistor of all labels to call for Your aid in a room like this always is a risky undertaking. A prayer for freedom and change may be heard as a call to anarchy. Prayer for order and stability be may heard as a call to oppression. Demands for resources may seem unlimited and the supply of resources scarce. But since the challenges we face seem overwhelming and remembering that You have a reputation for solutions, we dare to ask for Your help. May Your spirit inspire the Members of this House, so that in today's work they may prove themselves faithful servants of Illinois and its people. During moments of discouragement, remind them of the power in simply showing up and working with energy, intelligence, imagination and love. As Desmond Tutu once observed the forces that want to frustrate the ends toward which You are drawing history already have lost. Therefore, in the roles we all play for the public good, may we accept daily Your invitation to join the winning side.
