Holy God, we come before You this day thanking You for the opportunities before us to glorify You, our creator and sustainer, through our words and actions; to be used of You to touch and bless the lives of others, to do good and not harm to all. We thank You and acknowledge You as the one who has allowed us on this floor to be given the opportunity to serve the State of Texas and her people. Help us to do a good job of it and not for our own gain but to glorify Your name and help those You have entrusted to us by Your grace. Give this body Your wisdom for their task, for as Your word says, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5) In the precious name of our almighty and holy God I pray. Amen.
