    Holy and gracious Father, as we move forward from this legislative session we pray for Your continued blessing upon the men and women who have faithfully served.

    We thank You especially for those whose legislative terms now come to an end for their faithful service.

    Grant safety to all who travel this day. We ask Your guidance upon those who will serve on summer studies and take on various leadership responsibilities. Continue to bless them with good insight and wisdom as they address issues of common interest for our state.

    As we journey into spring we beseech You, Heavenly Father, for greatly needed moisture for our fields and our waterways.

    We ask You to bless our beloved State of South Dakota, that we might use all of our resources, natural and human, to Your glory and the well being of our whole state.

    So, indeed Father, we thank You for this day, and for the blessing of these women and men of the House of Representatives, and for the well being of our state.

    This we all ask of You, and this I would pray in the name of my Lord Jesus. Amen.
