"The House will be in order. Members will be in their chairs. We shall be led in prayer today by Reverend Greg Breeden, who is with Shelbyville Church of the Nazarene in Shelbyville. Reverend Breeden is guest of Representative Halbrook. Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turn off cell phones and rise for the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. Reverend Breeden."

Reverend Breeden

"Would you pray with me? Heavenly Father, we are grateful today for the blessings we have and we're glad that You love us and care for us. We are thankful for the way You provide for us. You have blessed us greatly in our nation and our state and we ask that You would continue to do so. I ask, Lord, that You bless this group of people, these men and women who've been elected to serve and… and do their best. I pray that You give them wisdom, courage, the ability to do right, the ability to make good decisions. Father, I pray not just for them, but I pray for those they represent, the men and women across our state and their families. I think as Mother Day is coming the need for mothers to be good mothers and fathers to be good fathers. Would You bless our state, Lord Jesus, in every way? Would You bless this day? In Your name I pray, Amen."
