The following prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Rev. Mike Bishop, Pierre/Ft. Pierre
Ministerial Association:
Father, we come before You on this day and give thanks for our great state of South
Dakota. You tell us in Your Word that when we seek You we will find You, and when we find
You then You will do great and mighty things. Today Lord we seek You and all that You have
for us. We hold up in prayer before You the men and women who are in positions of authority.
We pray and intercede for the Governor and his cabinet, the Senators, and the Representatives
of our state. We pray for all those who are in authority over us in any way. We pray that the
Spirit of God will rest upon them. Father, we ask that Your Spirit would guide them as they face
the tough agenda that lies before them. As they are faced with making decisions that will affect
the citizens of our state we pray that You would give them the wisdom and knowledge to make
the right decisions. Father, we pray that You will cause them to be men and women of integrity
and that You will keep them safe throughout this legislative session as they travel between their
homes and this State Capitol. Father, we also lift before You the young men and women from
our state who are serving in the armed forces and are fighting so that we can enjoy the freedom
that we have. Father, keep them safe and protect them. We ask that You give Your peace to
their families during their deployments. Father, You are the author and perfecter of our souls.
I pray that everything that is done in the next months would be pleasing and glorifying to You.
I pray all these things in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
