We shall rejoice and be glad in it. I pray for Your grace to the rest of our country, this great state, our elected officials, and the citizens. I come before You, God, today to pray for the men and women in our State Senate. Amidst all the voices that clamor for their attention, give them the discipline to listen to Your voice and the boldness to do what is right in Your sight. Your word says that the steps of a good person are ordered by You, Lord. My prayer is that our Senators will look to You for guidance as they will follow the steps You have set for them. Give them wisdom and grace to make good and right decisions. Let them rule knowing they were elected by the people who they are called to serve. Help them to recognize the importance of obedience to Your laws in service to others, love for You, and love for our fellow man. May our Senators serve as men and women of integrity who are obedient to You and will not compromise Your word in a compromising world. I pray that you will bless our legislators, but more importantly, may their lives glorify You and bless the people they serve. May their work bring about change and improvement to the people in this great state of Michigan. I pray for these elected officials. Thank You for their dedication to our citizens and the well-being of our state and its future. As the women and men of this Senate take up the matters of budget, education, transportation, health, and infrastructure, grant them wisdom to carry out their responsibilities. Give them the courage to rise above partisan politics. Provide them integrity to do what is right, that they will be good stewards of the resources they are called to manage. I pray for their families, their spouses, and their children, that all is well at home and that our Senators will be successful in their endeavors and healthy in their bodies. I pray Your kingdom come, and Your will be done. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
