Pastor Brian Reinhardt, Lead Pastor of Son’s Life Missionary Church in Sebewaing, offered the following invocation:

“Gracious God of Heaven and Earth, Father we come before You today as thankful people. You have blessed us as a nation and as a State, beyond what we have any right to expect. Your hand has guided and protected us, and Father we come again seeking Your favor.

Today Lord as this legislative body convenes to do the work before them we take the time to thank You for a government based on so many truths from Your Word. I ask that You would give wisdom to each of these representatives as they strive to accomplish the will of the people they represent, and that these decisions would align with Your will Father.

Father as we think of the preamble to our own state’s Constitution which says;

We, the people of the State of Michigan, grateful to Almighty God for the blessings of freedom, and earnestly desiring to secure these blessings undiminished to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution.

Remind us again of how You have blessed us Lord. Remind us again that all the laws that are passed and upheld in this State should be to secure the blessing and rights You have given us. Let every citizen of this State be grateful for the blessings You have given us and let this House and all citizens continue to desire to secure Your blessing for everyone.

And Father we sum this all up with the words that Jesus taught us to pray from Matthew’s gospel when said:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one*

Amen and Amen

* Lord’s Prayer as it appears in Matt. 6:9-13 NIV.”
