NO. 24
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2025
________
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Jeff Lingerfelt as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 34:9: "O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want."
Let us pray: O Lord our Father, thank you for providing your servants guidance in all we do today. Your goodness has been shed deeply into our hearts, so that we lack no good thing from your providential hand. Help us as we administer Your goodness to those under our care in this state. We pray for your provision, Your common grace, to us in our daily lives. Keep your eyes on us so that there is no lack in our daily provisions. We pray these things in the name of your beloved Son. Amen.
