Rep. Steven Johnson, from the 72nd District, offered the following invocation:

 

“O Lord, hear our prayer. Accept our pleas for forgiveness. Renew our minds to be more conformed to Your image.

Lord, we were dead in the trespasses and sins in which we once walked, following the course of the world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience, among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. BUT God. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. By grace we have been saved.

This is not a physical death, but rather a spiritual death. And yet God raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavily places in Christ Jesus, so the in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of this grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. For grace we have been saved through faith. And this is not of our own doing, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works so that we may not boast. For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

My prayer is simply this. When the time presents itself, I pray and hope that those individuals who call themselves followers of Christ will deny their name for His own. It is quickly growing unacceptable for believers to publicly acknowledge Jesus in our nation. For those elected leaders chosen by Christ, we pray they continue to lead and put policies in place which represent the goodness and fullness of His nature. For law is nothing more than legislated morality. If no one seeks for God and all have fallen short of His perfect standard, then laws are required to protect man from the nature of men.

Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.”
