"Oh mighty God, as a nation and as a state we stand for freedom of religion and we seek to preserve that freedom for religion, but if we use the freedom that we have in order to be free from religion then we cut off our governments and our lives from the greatest potential and power that they have. As we do our work here and service to our state and our nation, help us to sense and to move with the power of Your presents among us. Help us to temper justice with mercy, to balance compassion for those in need with good stewardship of our states resources. The issues we face are complexed and we need Your help in our decision making. We also pray for the many who will be effected by what we do here today. May the changes we seek to make and the policies we seek to preserve be in our people's best interest, to You be the honor and the glory. Amen."
