Almighty God, we thank You for Your invitation to come boldly before Your throne of grace. We call for Your guidance, wisdom, and blessing on today’s legislative efforts. You have established forever Your throne in heaven as a scepter of righteousness, and Your kingdom rules over all. We acknowledge that the state of Michigan is Yours and all the fullness thereof and all who dwell therein.
You, Lord, are worthy to receive our offering of thanksgiving and gratitude for the callings, giftings, and our divine placement; also for the financial and human resources and the infrastructure that makes the Michigan Senate possible.
As You have appointed Your servants, we receive Your grace to walk worthy of the vocation to which we are called. Teach us to number our days that we may dedicate our hearts to know Your wisdom. Give us understanding minds to govern the people and the wisdom to manage the resources You have made us stewards over.
Grant that those who serve may discern between what is good and what is evil. Open the eyes of their understanding to see and fulfill Your vision for the state of Michigan. Grant them Your strength and courage to stand without compromise and to uphold and defend the unalienable rights of the people they are called to serve. Help them to remember to preserve their God-given rights of life, liberty, and private property that were never given by any human government and, therefore, should never be taken by any human government.
Make this Senate an instrument of Your blessing to the people of Michigan. As we humble ourselves and reverently stand before Your throne, grant grace for healing and restoration of the great state of Michigan.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Protests
Senators Hood and Young, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against concurring in the House substitute to Senate Bill No. 934.
Senator Hood’s statement, in which Senator Young concurred, is as follows:
I rise to give my “no” vote explanation on concurring in the House substitute to Senate Bill No. 934. I know that a lot of hard work has gone into this piece of legislation, and I applaud those who have worked on it and have increased the minimum wage for the citizens of the state of Michigan.
With that being said, there is still a ballot initiative going on which is looking at turning in signatures tomorrow. I think that is the will of the people. This legislation was voted on before, at which time, I voted “no.” I think we need to pay attention to the people, and this bill circumvents their right to put it on the ballot. For these reasons and the will of the people, I voted “no,” but I do support raising the minimum wage.
