Our gracious Heavenly Father, we rejoice, Lord, in the privilege of self-government--the freedom that You've given to all of us. I pray for this legislative body. I pray, Lord, that You would give them wisdom; that You would guide and direct them; and that You would watch over their families. Encourage their families, Lord, as they make so many sacrifices to allow these men and women here to do what Romans 13 commands, that You have called them to do.

I think it's appropriate that we recognize them today on this day, the state employee recognition day.
On behalf of all of us here in the Senate, I want to offer our thanks for the great job that you do and the great job that you day for the citizens of this state. Congratulations on your special day.
