Make us grateful for those who protect and defend our Nation and State. Guide these Representatives and Staff to do the right thing for the right reason. Bless and keep our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Bestow Your blessings on our Armed Forces and especially for those in harm's way. Keep in Your love and care for our men and women who suffer from hidden wounds. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
