Most holy Father, the Lord of heaven and earth, we bow before you, dear God, because we know you and only you are God.

For we know that our fight is not with flesh and blood, dear God, but Lord, sometimes we forget. Sometimes we find ourselves arguing on issues where really, dear God, we should just be one. We pray, dear Lord, that this house would be one as you and your Father are one, that we might speak the same things for the citizens of Texas. We love you, Lord, and we know that you know that we love the citizens of Texas and we love this land. But we know also, Lord, you love us even more. And we pray, dear God, whether we are republican or democrat or independent or libertarian, that we would strive to be right in your sight, whether in public or in private that our conduct would be the same and that it would please you. Finally, Father, we come praying for the speaker and his wife, Kim. We pray, dear Lord, that you'll continue to protect them, put a hedge of protection around them. It's in the name of Jesus that we pray. Amen.
