Lord God, You are a God of knowledge and by You actions are weighed. For all the earth is Yours and You have set the world in order. No one will succeed by strength alone. It is You who give authority to legislate; You increase the strength of Your people.

As we begin this day, may our minds soar far beyond our own personal pursuits and aspirations and reach out to the larger issues at hand.

So as we stand here in this great house of government, we are determined to walk in Your counsel and meditate on Your wisdom throughout this day and the remainder of this week.

Now may You, Lord God, who by Your love and grace give us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage our hearts and strengthen us in every good deed and word.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Lane White, Ara Spielman and Meagan Spielman.
