One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:
Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, in the quiet before this session begins, we lift our eyes to You. Beneath the weight of duty and the press of time, we need Your grace. Help us hear the whisper of conscience, the voice of the forgotten, and wisdom from above.
Remind us that our labor is not for ourselves alone, but our words and work shape the soul of a nation and echo through unborn generations. Let us not grow weary in well–doing.
Breathe into this Chamber, O Lord, a spirit of humility, courage, and hope. May we walk this day by the light of Your eternal truth.
Grant wisdom to our legislators and let liberty's light shine brightly on our Nation.
In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
