Minister Andy Brewster

Father God,

Thank You for this day– for our families, friends, and the freedoms we enjoy in our Nation. Thank you for these representatives and their willingness to serve. Bless their families and each of them individually. Help all of us to recognize Your blessings in our lives.

Please be with the matters under consideration in this chamber today. We pray the conversation is both civil and productive. Father, we pray these lawmakers will seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with You, oh God. We pray and we thank You for both our Armed Forces and our civil servants on the local, state, and federal levels.

As our Nation celebrates 250 years, let us look back and thank You and look forward to follow You. We pray for our leaders. We pray for peace.  We praise You, O God! Let justice roll and freedom ring!

In Jesus name, Amen
