God, from whom all creation is a loving gift, You have charged us, Your beloved people, with the responsibility to be the stewards of these gifts, of which, California is so richly endowed. Guide us so that our actions remain in harmony with all of Your creation. For through harmony we find security and peace. Guide us as we are affective in hearing the concerns of the people of California and make us effective in our work to resolve the many difficult issues before us. Give us the fortitude and self-esteem to look beyond the frailties of others and to admit to our own frailties and together move forward seeking wise solutions. Grant us the character to grow always in our capacity to listen. For all this we humbly pray. —AMEN.
