Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons, from the 86th District, offered the following invocation:
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
Father, thank You for this day that You have made. Let us rejoice and be glad! We are so grateful to live in and lead a state so wonderfully blessed as ours.
We come today as a group of people with servants’ hearts. Give us strength and wisdom as we seek to steer this state and its people into prosperity.
This is Your world, Father, and You have given us dominion over it. You call us to serve and lift up one another, and by doing so, Your love lives and Your light shines.
We pray for the children of this state, especially those who every day face abuse and neglect. Let the work we do in our personal lives and through the Children’s Trust Fund be a ray of hope so that all Your precious children know love.
We pray for the heavy hearts of those serving and working in this chamber and their families. Bring them healing and peace.
And Father, we pray for the troops- the brave men and women that have come before us and those who serve now- who fought for and defend the freedom that we are so blessed to experience. Finally, we pray for Michigan and all her people. Let Your love and grace smother this state.
As we continue to talk about ‘reinventing’ Michigan, let us remember it is You who makes all things new. We take comfort in that while we are broken people living in a broken world, You will redeem us and restore the Earth. Until that that time and after, we give You all the glory and all the honor. In Your name, Amen.”
