Lord God, heavenly Father, we humbly invoke your assistance over this legislative assembly, and over each of it's members.
We ask that the deliberations of the Senate of the State of Texas be imbued with a spirit of right judgment and wisdom, and that the decisions made here reflect a selfless and disinterested concern for the public good.
May each senator act with generous concern for the good of all who dwell here, and may their votes be a reflection of a good and clear conscience.
May they take to heart how their exercise of political judgment will affect the lives of the children, women and men who form the communities, great and small, wealthy and poor, that make up the State of Texas.
O Lord, bless all of us in this state, to take up generously our responsibilities to one another, that ours may be a peaceable reflection of that kingdom of justice, compassion and peace which, though not yet come to fulfillment, is yet destined, by your grace, to renew the face of the earth.
