(Psalm 90) O sovereign Lord, we give You thanks for Your grace and salvation. Just moments in Your presence changes our perspective. What we see as difficult, hard, impossible, becomes possible and even probable from Your perspective. You have provided Texas with a Senate that embraces progress and forward movement rather than gridlock, strife, contention. May it always be so in future generations.
