authority. We pray and intercede for the Governor, the Lt. Governor, the Representatives,
the Senators, the Judges of our state, and all other persons who are in authority over us in
any way. I pray that Your Spirit would rest upon each one of them. Father, I ask that You
would surround each of these people with men and women who will pray for them daily and
give them godly counsel. Father, I pray that You would cause these servants to be men and
women of integrity, who are obedient concerning us that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life in all godliness and honesty. Father, I bring before You the men and women who are
serving in the military from our state. I ask that You would protect them and keep them safe
from harm. I ask that You would grant peace and comfort to those families whose loved
ones have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we here in attendance today can enjoy the
freedoms we have. Father, we pray for Senator Tim Johnson today as he recovers in the
hospital in Washington, D.C. We pray that You would watch over him and allow him a
complete and full recovery. Father, I thank You that I live in a state where we can publicly
ask for Your guidance and blessings. I give You thanks for our state and our leaders. Father,
bless each one who hears these words today. I pray all these things in Your name. Amen.
