"Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for the day that You have given to us. We thank You for this opportunity to serve You. We ask now that You be with Representative DeHart's brother as he goes through brain surgery. We ask that You be with the doctors and the nurses, that You guide their hands. Provide them with wisdom and skill as they try and heal him. We ask that You be over him, watch over the family, and guide and direct. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom, we ask for patience, we ask for Your guidance in all that we do here today. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
