Matthew 18:20
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
Let us pray. Gracious Lord, as we gather in this Chamber, we remember Your promise that "...where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
We claim Your promise this day and pray that You will make Your presence a part of every decision that comes from this Body.
Through the power of Your spirit, O God, enable us to be better than we are, wiser than we know, and stronger than we can dream. Therefore each day forward, may we hold fast to what is good, may we overcome what is evil and may we be constant in our daily prayer. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.
