Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for bringing us here today. Thank you for giving these leaders the opportunity to not only serve the state of Iowa, but to serve you. You are a good father who promises beauty for ashes and joy for our sadness, but we are hurting Father. This world is hurting. We pray that we can learn to love ourselves, and others in this room, more like you. In a broken world these truths remain; you are pain taker, a way maker, and a chain breaker. May our lives be a direct reflection of who you are and our service would show your goodness. We pray that you will continue to protect us and keep up safe. In your son’s name we pray, Amen.
