Journal of the Senate 05/08/2019 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE Wednesday, May 8, 2019 The Senate was called to order at 3:00 p.m., the President in the Chair. The prayer was offered by the Deputy Chaplain, Rabbi Philip Lazowski of Bloomfield, Connecticut. The following is the prayer: Our thought for today is from Lamentations 3:57: "You called near when I called You, and You said, 'Do not fear'". O Blessed Creator, in the world You have created, You also give us protection from the violence and unruly nature of human kind. We rely on You to take away our fear. Grant us wisdom and courage to overcome all the evil that surrounds us. May this Senate be an influence for good, uniting all people in our State of Connecticut in peace and freedom, and keep us safe. Bless our Nation, President, our Governor, our Lieutenant Governor, our state leaders, and hold our defenders of freedom in Your care. O Lord, hear us as we pray, and let us say, Amen.
