Senator Coleman A. Young II of the 1st District offered the following invocation:
Father God, we come before You today in times of challenge and times of hardship. We know that You said in Your word that the thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but You have come so that we may have life and life more abundantly.
Jesus, we know that in Your word, You made the blind see, the dumb talk, the lame walk, and the dead rise. Jesus, we know that in Your word, You said like other men in the Bible that You have come so that we can conquer kingdoms, administer justice, gain what was promised, shut the mouths of lions, quench the fury of the flames, escape the edge of the sword, turn weakness into strength, and gain power by routing full armies. We know if all things are in Your will that there is no weapon formed against us that shall prosper.
In this state, with politics, we are not always going to agree or get along. No matter what we do and no matter what solutions we provide for the greater good of this state, let them be blessed by You. Let this day be the day that we leave our mark of excellence. May this be the day that we are vessels of Your word, blessed by Your holy hand, and that You open up the windows of heaven and pour blessings upon us. Then, no matter which way we go, it will be the greatest way because we were blessed and touched by the one true God.
Thank you and God bless you. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.
