Pastor Lester Smith, Senior Pastor of Hillsdale United Brethren Church in Hillsdale, offered the following invocation:

“God of all grace and comfort,

We stand before You in full acknowledgement of Your divine sovereignty. If a sparrow does not fall to the ground without Your awareness, how much more must the affairs that transpire here today draw heaven’s attention.

Therefore, we ask that Your will be done here, as it is in heaven. May the discussions taking place on the floor of this House be governed by grace. Grant these men and women wisdom from above in all their deliberations. May their decisions be according to Your will and thereby pleasing in Your sight.

Though they are esteemed by the residents of our state who have elected them to this high office, may they be humbled in Your sight. As Your word reminds us, You resist the proud, but give grace to the humble. Certainly we are much in need of that grace as we have been reminded by the flooding in our sister states.

Father, the image of the destruction of the twin towers of the 9/11 terrorist attack was brought back to the collective conscience of our nation earlier this week. And now the twin towers of the South, Texas and Florida, have also suffered great devastation. Even as we pray for the recovery of those states, we must also thank You for Your divine protection over the state of Michigan.

As our Creator, we look to You for Your blessing, grace and provision on this day and the future. Help us O Lord.

We make all these petitions in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.”
