One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:
Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Our most kind and gracious Heavenly Father, I simply want to begin by thanking You for this wonderful opportunity to pray in this sacred place.
Lord, as we come before You today, we thank You for Your faithfulness to our Nation for almost 250 years. The Scripture teaches us blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
God, I thank You for Your presence, preservation, and protection throughout these many years. May we always remember that righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
The nation that is a city upon a hill is truly salt and light to the world, making whatsoever and whosoever around them better and brighter.
Lord, our only hope is You. May everyone serving and every Member under this Capitol dome heed the words of President Abraham Lincoln who simply prayed and said:
I have been driven many times upon my knees by the
overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.
My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed
insufficient for that day.
Our only hope, God, is through the power of Your spirit. Only there can our land be healed.
We love You, we exalt You, we praise You, and we pray this prayer certainly respecting all faiths, but we pray this prayer this morning in the name above every name, and that is the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, the lamb of glory. Amen.
