Father God,
Thank You for this day– for our families, friends, and the freedoms we enjoy in our Nation. Thank you for these representatives and their willingness to serve. Bless their families and each of them individually. Help all of us to recognize Your blessings in our lives.
Please be with the matters under consideration in this chamber today. We pray the conversation is both civil and productive. Father, we pray these lawmakers will seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with You, oh God. We pray and we thank You for both our Armed Forces and our civil servants on the local, state, and federal levels.
As our Nation celebrates 250 years, let us look back and thank You and look forward to follow You. We pray for our leaders. We pray for peace. We praise You, O God! Let justice roll and freedom ring!
In Jesus name, 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.
