Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Let us pray:
Almighty God we pray with thanksgiving for the breath of life. May we be an example of your love and let us be thankful for this earth that you have shared with us.
We take this opportunity to ask for wisdom for all the world leaders. At the time of creation you tell us that your creation was good. Let us in faithful service do our part to continue your goodness.
We lift our prayers for President Obama, the House of Representatives and the Senate Floor. We lift our prayers on behalf of all government, state and local leaders.
We pray for our armed forces. We ask your protection for them physically, emotionally and spiritually. We lift to you the families that have lost loved ones in faithful service to our country.
God, offer the House of Representatives the wisdom to conduct the business of the day in a way that would be pleasing to you.
Hear our prayers, Lord. Amen.
