Rep. Gary R. Eisen, from the 81st District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Dear heavenly Father

I would like to thank You for allowing me to be part of this great institution ...working with... and learning from all my colleagues.

Even though we may disagree on issues and policy…I know we would stand shoulder to shoulder and fight anything that would threaten the American way of life and all the freedoms we enjoy.

I truly believe,,,that united,,,we are strong and divided we are weak.

Please guide us in our decision making so that we can keep Michigan moving forward.

In Jesus name we pray amen.”
