NO. 42
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2025
________
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk Jr. as follows:
Our thought for today is from Isaiah 35:4: "Say to those who are of a fearful heart, "Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God."
Let us pray. Almighty God, help us to rely on You above all things that our lives may find hope and peace. Almighty God fill our hearts and life with Your joy and healing. Bless, we beseech You to keep our men and women in Your love and care. Bless and keep our defenders of freedom and first responders in Your care. Look in favor on our World, Nation, President, State, Governor Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Care for our men and women in our Armed Forces and those with hidden wounds. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
