Senator Coleman A. Young II of the 1st District offered the following invocation:

Father God, we come before You today and we say thank You. Even though the state’s challenges have been hard; even though we know people are unemployed; even though folks are struggling; even though we know people are losing their houses, You said in Your word: “I’ve been young and I’ve been old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken.”

We are Your righteous people. We stand on one accord, and we demand that You open up the windows of heaven and You pour mellifluous and abundant blessings upon our lives. Let all of the state of Michigan know as Your servants that we represent them and You, and they deserve nothing but the absolute best in their lives. As Your vessels, let us use this great place of democracy to be the vessel, to be the ship, to be the message that carries out that purpose. We are on fire for You, Father God.

We know that we can only do so much in the natural, but what we are asking for is a supernatural, overpowering breakthrough that has a supersonic pace, Father God; that anybody we touch or anybody we talk to will be blessed and that their lives turn and that anything we touch turns to gold and multiplies and increases in value.

We praise the on-high God. We praise Elohim, Father God. We praise the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We praise Jesus Christ, and we say that boldly and unafraid, Father God, and with no shame.

We know in the end, when it is all said and done, Father God, when all the swords have been swung, when all the arrows have been extinguished from their fire, Father God, we will reign supreme in Your name. We know that if we rest on You, we will grow wings and soar like eagles, Father God. We will run and not get weary. We will walk and not grow faint because we believe in Your holy and precious name. No matter what struggle may be in our way, no matter what battle will be before us, we know that all things are possible through Jesus Christ. If we believe, we can move any mountain, we can shatter any barrier, we can overcome any challenge and be blessed.

When it is all said and done, You will say, “Job well done, good and faithful servant.” Amen.

The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.
