Lord God, as we begin this first full week of this legislative session, we dare not venture into the uncertainty of our tasks without acknowledging Your presence.

You've granted us safe passage once again, strengthened our minds and bodies, empowered us with the necessary knowledge to pass purposeful law, surrounded us with wise counsel and blessed us with supportive families. How can we not first give thanks.

Father God, grant us success today and throughout this week as we faithfully take up the business at hand. Help us to listen attentively and seriously examine each point of view presented before this body.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from stumbling and in acknowledgment of Your presence, we ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen.
