Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
As our work becomes more difficult and our responsibilities more demanding, the greater, O Lord, do we realize our dependence upon You. We need Your help and Your guidance for our judgments are fallible but Your wisdom is infallible. These people will be so busy during the days ahead. They are pressed for time; they will have so much to debate. So give to each one, we pray:
A calm mind for the emotional issues;
a clear vision of the far-reaching issues;
an understanding grasp of the financial issues;
a keen insight of the hidden issues;
and an open mind for all the issues.
And in every issue, Oh Lord, grant us an abundant measure of Your wise guidance, commensurate with the demand at hand. Amen.
