The following prayer was offered by Pastor Mike Bishop, Church of the Nazarene, Pierre,
South Dakota:
Our dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to begin a new legislative session.
We thank You for allowing all who are present today in this chamber the opportunity to serve
this great state. I would ask today Father that You would grant each representative who has been
elected to serve the people of the state of South Dakota, Your wisdom. I ask that You would
guide and direct their thoughts and actions over the next several weeks. Father, I ask that You
would bless each staff member and the pages who serve in this chamber. Keep all in this chamber
that serve, remindful of the tremendous responsibility that has been placed of each one, and allow
them to draw from Your strength that You freely give to all who ask. Father, bless our Governor
and his staff as they lead the people of the state. We ask that You would grant Your protection
to all those serving during this session as they travel weekly to and from their homes. Father, we
pray for Senator Tim Johnson today and ask that You would be with him as he recovers in the
hospital. Grant his family Your peace throughout this time. Give the doctors treating Senator
Johnson Your wisdom that will allow him to have a full and complete recovery. Father, I ask all
these things humbly in Your name. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by House page Kelcy Brunner.
