"Let us pray. Our heavenly Father, it is an awesome privilege to call on You for mercy and help for the people and leaders of the State of Illinois. Your word calls those who exercise political power servants and ministers of God. They do not simply serve the 13 million people of the great State of Illinois but most importantly, they are to serve you the Living God. And so, I ask that you would grant them conviction in doing that which is right, not what is defined by popular opinion or polls, but that which is defined on Your precious Word. And so, give them sensitive hearts to be led even by Your Holy Spirit. We do pray for our state which is burdened by violence, by incredible debt. We know that the ultimate answers cannot 09800017.doc 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day 2/20/2013 come from us, they must come from you, through Your Word, through the leading of Your Holy Spirit. And so, give to the men and women here present, give them sensitive hearts and minds to be led by You. We thank You for the salvation found in Jesus Christ, who was offered up for us, rebellious sinners. May all here be led to trust in Him and do His will. In Jesus' great name we pray, Amen."
