The Rev. James Richardson
Holy and gracious God: we give thanks for this new day and for the new opportunities you have given us. We give thanks for this good earth, for this nation and state, and we give thanks for the people of this land and the trust they have placed in us, your servants. May our lawmakers risk something big for something good; may they remember that the world is too wounded for anything but compassion, and too small for anything but cooperation. May God kindle the hearts of our lawmakers, give them strength for their journey and courage to act with justice, fairness and humility in all that they do.-AMEN.
