Eternal God, our Father, thou whose Wisdom has created us! Your Eternity overarches our days and undergirds our lives!!!
We thank You that today we stand at the gates of “new” understandings!
Grant, oh God, that the political leaders and staff assigned to this chamber will serve with broad understanding and penetrating vision and unswerving devotion to lasting principles of freedom and justice for all who reside in the great state of California.
These are they, who are made for that which is high and noble!
These are they, whom You have fashioned for such a time as this!
I pray Your divine protection for each legislator! Help these men and women to follow Your creative works in this world. Help them, oh Lord, to discover how best to use their particular gifting to cultivate “just” policies that lead to a flourishing society!! May all their differences be beneficial to advancements for the whole population and not just the few!!
We thank You that Your ways are higher than ours, alone. And, Your ways are made known with each new day!! May You always be glorified by our cities, our states, and our nation!!! For the kingdom’s sake.—AMEN
