"Let us pray. Dear heavenly Father, we come now, praising your mighty power and endless authority. We lift up to you our State Representatives in this august Body, who have a God-given duty to enact justice, defend the rights of the poor and needy, and give the land the rest that it so desperately needs. Lord, strengthen them with integrity and character to act righteously and not out of selfish ambition. Protect them from all evil powers that maneuver to coerce them. Grant them abundant wisdom so that they may know your ways to labor for the good of creation and for all of us who daily depend on it for life and health. These things we pray, Amen."
