Father, I thank You today for the gracious provision You have made for the leadership of our state through the elected officials present here today. I ask that You would grant them a disposition of humble submission to Your sovereign authority and that in their submission they would find their own authority strengthened and established, that as they acknowledge You as the God of all wisdom, they might enjoy a keen sense of discernment today, that as they recognize You as the one who controls all things, they would experience a deep and abiding peace, that as they seek Your favor, they might find favor with their constituents and colleagues, and most of all, Father, manifest Yourself in a very real way to each of them, as You have done so in my life. I pray this in the name of my savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
