The following prayer was delivered by Bishop David Zellmer, South Dakota Synod of the
ELCA, Sioux Falls, South Dakota:
O, God of all Creation, we give thanks for the gift of the law and for those who work to bring justice and mercy to all the people of South Dakota. We remember those who go in harms way on our behalf, we pray especially for our National Guard troops that are serving overseas, and the 3rd Battalion 5th Marines and their families, for those who govern and for those who
craft the laws and for those who apply them. We ask for wisdom, courage and the will to strive
for justice for our Supreme Court Justices and Circuit Court Judges, our Governor and
Legislators and all those who hold elected or appointed office.
We ask for the gift of healing for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and those who were
wounded in the shooting in Arizona, and we pray for the families of those who lost loved ones
that day.
Bless this legislative session that the words from the prophet Amos might be fulfilled.
Amos 5:21
... I take no delight in your solemn assemblies...
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
24 But let justice roll down like waters,
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
In Your Holy Name we Pray. Amen.
