Good and gracious Lord. At the beginning of this day, we stand before your
holy presence and worship you as the source of all grace. We praise and bless you
as the God who has been ever faithful to the cries of your people.
We raise up to you these men and women of the house of representatives
from the State of Texas. They convene in this place charged with the mission of
service to the varied people of this state. Assist them with your inspiration and
with your guidance. Give them the vision to see that their office is one to serve all
of the people who inhabit this land; the men and the women; the elderly and the
young; the people of varied creeds, races, and tongues; and the people from every
comer of this state.
