e/d/s = entered during session

Rep. John Espinoza, from the 83rd District, offered the following invocation:

 

"Heavenly Father, we ask for Your guidance as You have guided others that have come before us during times like these.

This great state has been a haven for Your people and You have provided for their needs.

Allow us to hear Your guidance so as to also understand those needs. Grant us the ability to hear You and have us act as You direct us.

We ask not out of selfishness but with a desire to do what is best for the people of this state, not only for this moment for years to come. Amen."
