Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Oh, merciful benefactor, and wise sustainer, we pause in gratitude for the time entrusted and the work set before us.
Bless these leaders with patience to labor faithfully in the duties of this day, knowing that the quiet work of the present shapes the direction and strength of the future.
Grant them vision to build with care, courage to act with conviction, and steadiness to continue when progress unfolds slowly.
Allow their efforts to become foundations of hope for generations yet unseen and guide their decisions with wisdom that seeks the good of all.
May their service honor the trust placed in them and strengthen the path for those who follow.
Let their labor be carried forward with integrity today and remembered with gratitude tomorrow.
As they labor in trust and responsibility, protect the Members of this House, their staff, and all who serve within these solemn Halls, and guide their efforts toward justice, peace, and the flourishing of this Nation.
Ameen.
