Our Father, we bow in Your presence this morning to thank You for the
beginning of this brand new day and for the opportunity it gives us to serve
You and our fellow man. Lord, it's obvious that You have been good to the
great State of Texas. You have blessed us beyond measure. We have more
to celebrate and more for which to be grateful than almost any other people
on the face of the Earth, and we thank You. But, Lord, with blessedness we
understand there comes great responsibility. And that's why these men and
women are gathered here this morning, to be responsible, to be responsible
for that which has been entrusted into their care by You and the people of
Texas. Father, we pray for Your wisdom, for Your divine guidance, that
every decision made would be in accordance to Your will and that it would
all be done for that which is truly good for Texas and to Your glory forever.
We pray in Your wonderful name. Amen.
