Rep. David Law, from the 39th District, offered the following invocation:
"Lord,
Thank You for the opportunity to be on Earth, and in this capitol, with the ability to do Your work and make a difference in the lives of others.
Help us to realize and embrace the responsibility we have. Help guide us in the decisions we make and the actions we take.
Lord, we also come to You asking for divine protection for the people of this state and of this nation. We pray for the safety of every man, woman, and child. Keep us from harms way and provide protection from plans of destruction that our enemies have plotted.
Give wisdom, understanding, and discernment to those who provide protection. Provide insight to national and local authorities on ways to guard, defend, and insure the safety of all American citizens both at home and abroad.
Let us not forget our soldiers, sailors, and airmen as we pray they continue to stay strong and are blessed with a safe return home to the land they are working so hard to protect. Let us never forget the sacrifices made.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."
