Almighty God, You who cares for each of these people, protect them from all harm and guide them this day. Give them the tools to do the work required. We give thanks for new people as they begin this new venture in their lives. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. May Your mighty hand rest with our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who contribute to the success of this Body. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
