Almighty God, by Your gift of wisdom, and our communication and reflection, may we continue to grow in our understanding of the state of our State.

Then, may we begin to do our part in advancing justice for all. Your Holy Word reminds us, "By justice a king gives stability to the land," (Proverbs 29:4). Help us, each and every one of us, to do our part so that this Holy Word may live ever more fully in the "land" that is the State of Missouri.

We thank You, O God, for every good decision and every good event that has helped decrease the violence and killing in Iraq. Protect our armed forces there, and help the leaders of that nation to establish justice for all their people.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Mate Chavez Daus and Vincent Chavez Daus.
