El Shaddai, Creator of all, We join this day seeking Your guidance and wisdom in the decisions that must be made. I pray, God, You would be with our Senators and staff as they work toward shaping liberty and justice for all-making liberty and justice more than just words that are spoken. I pray that their actions will be actions that include rather than divide, build up instead of tear down, and bring unity instead of division. Remind them they represent all people, from every race, religion, and walk of life-even those who are questioning who they are. Teach us, almighty God, to rise above our own limitations to create a state that is big enough for those with whom we may differ. We ask blessings and encouragement along the way knowing that the journey traveled may not be the same as the journey You challenge us to live today.
In Your many names, we pray.-AMEN.
