Almighty God, we give thanks for this Nation and for the Representatives who have answered the call to serve its people.
As we mark the recent anniversary of our country's founding, renew in us a grateful appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy and the duties they entail.
Grant our Representatives wisdom, humility, and steadfast hearts as they seek the common good. Bless them, their families, their staffs, and all who serve in this House, and continue to watch over this Nation with Your gracious hand.
Amen.
Although guided by our excellent Constitution in the discharge of official duties, and actuated, through the whole course of my public life, solely by a wish to promote the best interests of our country; yet, without the beneficial interposition of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, we could not have reached the distinguished situation which we have attained with such unprecedented rapidity. To HIM, therefore, should we bow with gratitude and reverence, and endeavor to merit a continuance of HIS special favors.
—George Washington
