Pastor Winston Churchill
Patterson, Pastor of Ypsilanti Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Ypsilanti,
offered the following invocation:
Our gracious, loving, and
everlasting Father, to You alone belong our praise and worship for this day. So
we declare that You are holy, true, and righteous.
We humbly ask that Your grace and
forgiveness be extended to each of us in this assembly. We are imperfect in all
our ways, yet we ask that You affirm our best intentions by Your copious
blessings which at all times bring true success.
Grant unto each of the 110
Michigan House of Representatives Your knowledge, Your wisdom, Your understanding
and almighty power, that they make the right decisions as they govern the
citizens of this great State with humility and dedication. I pray that You give
to each one a body free from sickness and pain. Send Your protective covering
to shield them from accidents or any other misfortune as they traverse the
length and breadth of this State. Bless their families and love ones with
contentment, happiness, and love.
We submit our items of discussion
to You for Your blessings of clarity, relevancy and urgency. Please continue by
Your divine providence to make the conclusions of deliberations just and
equitable for all.
Thank You in Your name which is
above all other names.
Amen
