“Lord God, as we enter another fall harvest season, it is a fitting time to praise You for the blessings You give. And in this Chamber we are each blessed also with the trust and support of our many constituents. Help us to prove worthy of that trust-give us wisdom in our decision making and courage to promote what is best for Michigan. Help us to stand up with integrity to the various temptations we face, be they related to financial support of our campaigns, the temptation to follow popular opinion or party-line doctrine when often there is a better way forward. Help us to work together, to respect each other, and to honor You with our thoughts and actions. Amen.”
