Gracious God, we give thanks for the goodness of this nation and for the Representatives who offer themselves in service to lead our country.

Bless, guide, and protect them along with their families, staffs, and all who serve in this building.

Grant them strength, courage and resilience as they face the challenges before them and help them to make wise decisions for the well–being of our people.

Keep this nation ever under Your Care. Amen.

Thought of the Week

There is but one good: that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from His. And the higher and tighter it is in the natural order, the more demoniac it will be if it rebels. It’s not out of bad mice or bad fleas that you make demons, but out of bad archangels. The false religion of lust is baser than the false religion of mother–love or patriotism or art, but lust is less likely to be made into a religion.

—C.S. Lewis
