Heavenly Father, Almighty God, we claim this day and this time as You prescribed that when two or more gather together in Your name, You are there. May this day be a blessing to You, Lord. As You have taught us through the book of Jeremiah, You speak through the prophets and do Your work through people like us. Let us always be mindful of Paul’s exhortation in Romans 13:1: “Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God, and the powers that be are of God.”
This is an awesome responsibility for which we often feel unworthy. While we do our humanly best to live up to this charge, we petition for Your help today with wisdom, strength, and purity of heart. May our work be a blessing to You, Lord. Guide our thoughts and our words, and guard our hearts from this world. May this day be a blessing to You.
It is in Your strong and powerful name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
The President pro tempore, Senator Schuitmaker, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.
