"As we approach the 200th anniversary of the birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, I begin today with some of his own words. ‘Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We can succeed only by concert. It is not, can any of us imagine better, but it is more, can we all do better? The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.’ Abraham Lincoln – 1862. ‘That the Almighty does make use of human agencies and directly intervenes in human affairs is one the plainest statements of scripture. I have had so many evidences of his direction, so many instances that I have been controlled by some other power other than my own will, that I cannot doubt that this power comes from above. I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not to do a particular thing, He finds a way of letting me know it if I am willing to listen to Him. He will do it in his own good time. We should obey and not oppose his will.’ Abraham Lincoln – 1863. ‘I am upheld and sustained by the good wishes and prayers of God’s people. No one is more 09600011.doc 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/10/2009 deeply than myself aware that without His favor our highest wisdom is but foolishness, and that without His favor our most strenuous efforts would avail nothing in the shadow of his displeasure. It seems to me that if there is one subject upon which all good people may unitedly agree, it is imploring the gracious favor of the God of all nations.’ Abraham Lincoln – 1863. In that same spirit of faith, let us now pray. And blessed are You, Lord God of all creation, whose goodness fills out hearts with joy. Blessed are You who have brought us together this day to work in and for peace and harmony. Strengthen us with Your grace and wisdom. Oh, heavenly Father, God of mercy, You give us a marvelous example of charity and the great commandment of love of one another. Send down Your blessings on this Assembly, who so generously devote themselves to loving service. When they are called on in times of need, let them always serve You in serving their neighbor. We ask this in Your name, Amen."
