The Presiding Officer offered the following prayer:
Let us pray.
Gracious God, You are known by many names, worshipped in many houses.
In You we live, move, and have our being. Strengthen us now in the work
that You have allowed us to do, that our country might know Your grace,
Your justice, and Your mercy.
Center the concerns of the marginalized, and may the words of the
prophet live in our lives: ``Let justice roll down like waters, and
righteousness as a mighty stream.''
Grant that our work might bring good news to the poor and all of
God's children might be blessed.
In the name of the God who loves us into freedom and frees us into
loving. Amen.
