JOINT SESSION
The Senate convened with the House of Representatives in the House Chamber for the purpose of receiving a message from the Governor, Kristi Noem. The President of the Senate, Larry Rhoden, presided.
The following prayer was delivered by Rev. Craig Wexler, Pierre/Fort Pierre Ministerial Association, Pierre, South Dakota:
We begin with a reading from Romans chapter 13: “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good.”
Gracious God, Your sovereignty is powerful and right. Your sovereignty has allowed all of us to be called and elected into this space and time. Remind all who hear, that Your will outweighs that of any individual person or movement. We live in a time and space in which our country has become more polarized than it has in decades. But where there is polarization, we pray for unity. Where there is worship of the self—or worship of conflicting identities—remind us that our identity is in YOU, and YOU ALONE. We are all created in your image and it is our brokenness and individualization that continues to drive us apart.
But not today…Today, Almighty God, as we stand here together in this room—man and woman—young and old—Republican and Democrat----but most importantly, Christian-God-fearing, and South Dakotan……I pray for all of the authority that your sovereign rule has been allowed into power. We pray for Governor Noem and her continued leadership—bless her words—bless her work—bless her support staff—bless her family. We pray for our Senators and Representatives, their families and the constituents they serve. We pray for our judges of the court who continue to discern and interpret justice on the laws that are created in these halls. Give them grace and wisdom. We pray for every staff member in this building who keeps the work in these coming weeks, moving forward. And finally…We pray for all other leaders in government across this nation, outside the borders of this great state. Give them wisdom, humility, and insight into the true needs of this country—not the personal agendas that continue to drive us apart, but the ideals of what created this country in the first place 246 years ago—faith, peace, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Come Lord Jesus, Come. It is in your name we pray, thanks be to God. Amen.
