Pastor
Doug Ogden of Lebanon Lutheran Church of Whitehall the following invocation:
God of
the widow, the orphan, and the stranger who sojourns in a strange land: give me
this prayer of Martin Luther’s—a prayer for those with whom I disagree—that we
should fear and love God so that we do not slander or betray our neighbor, but
instead come to their defense, speak well of them, and interpret everything in
the best possible light.
Give me
this prayer for those who work together. I pray with Martin Luther King, whose
Drum Major Instinct prayed, “I just want to be here in love and justice and
truth and commitment to others so that we can make this old world into a new
world.”
Give me
this prayer for those who also love You from the Bible itself: “The steadfast
love of the Lord never ceases; God’s mercies never come to an end; They are new
every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.” Peace to people of good will
everywhere.
Give me
this prayer for all who serve in this chamber, from those who make the laws and
those who empty the trash, that their work in the peoples’ house reflect the
thanks of the people, like this:
O God,
Your Son came among us not to be served but to serve, and to give his life for
the world. Lead us by love to serve all those to whom the world offers no
comfort and little help. Through the work of this chamber, give hope to the
hopeless, love to the unloved, peace to the troubled, and rest to the weary.
Give me this prayer for all who love what is right.
Guide
my feet while I run this race. Guide our feet while we run this race.
Salaam alaikum; shalom’utah; la paz sea con ustedes; friede sei mit dir; peace be with You. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, led the
members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge
of Allegiance.
