Almighty God we pause to thank you for all your blessings and mercies we have received this
past year. We are thankful that your Word says that your mercies are new every morning and
that you hear the cry of our hearts for the much needed wisdom and ability this new year, of
2012, in the Senate and House of the State of South Dakota. We also ask that you would be with
those in the military and that you would keep them safe. Please be with and bless those families
of our Legislators. Father, we also ask that you would help us see your blessings. We look
forward to the results of our labors here for the State of South Dakota.
This I ask in the name of Jesus.
