Help us as leaders of our communities and the State of Illinois to always hold as our priorities meeting the needs of the less fortunate and the vulnerable, who have no lobbyists or dollars or power to alleviate their desperate situations. Oh universal God of all Your created human beings, whose nature is to be amazingly gracious, help us as we might think and believe we are here, present in service of the people of Illinois, because of our own achievements, rather than the reality that we are here by Your grace and the gifts and the talents You have given us to lead and serve. Forgive our betrayals of Your guidance and grace. Give us some measure of Your expansive, inclusive love, so we may see others as You see them and see ourselves as You see us. May this House of Representatives, elected by the citizens of Illinois, be led and guided to sort through the issues of finance, human resources and policies that bring equality to everyone. We pray You're leading each Legislator in this House of Representatives toward civil conversations, debates and decisions to help our state as well as our world benefit. May the relationships of these Legislators and their actions embrace actions of love and positions of accepting and enhancing the lives of the citizens and residents of Illinois. As we pray and make decisions, may that affect others. May we also acknowledge how marvelous and amazing Your grace is to us and thus extend the same measure of grace to whom we serve, all of Your people. We share these prayer… prayerful thoughts in Your powerful name, Amen." 09800124.docx 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 124th Legislative Day 5/6/2014
