Pastor Eli Lara
Almighty God, we pause in this moment to acknowledge Your presence and to seek Your blessing in this House. Grant each Member wisdom to discern the greater good, courage to act with integrity, and humility to listen with an open heart.
In these Halls of government, remind us that leadership is a trust and service a sacred duty. Fill this Chamber with a spirit of cooperation and purpose.
In moments of challenge, grant perseverance. In moments of discord, grant understanding. This House needs understanding, Lord, every day. Remind us that the privilege to serve is also a call to integrity, accountability, and grace.
We seek Your guidance as this House begins its work. Grant each Member wisdom beyond our own, compassion that rises above division, and strength to pursue what is good and just for all people.
Bless the families and communities our Representatives serve. Strengthen their resolve to uphold the values of liberty, equality, and peace.
I ask this in Your mighty name. Amen.
