Captain David Martinez of the Salvation Army Citadel of Dearborn Heights offered the following invocation:

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You would this day bestow almighty discernment on the men and women gathered in this chamber. You hold all authority and yet You rescind some of that authority to those in this room.

You showed us love and taught that to lead is to follow, to gain is to sacrifice, and to live is to die to self. You sacrificed for the whole world; You sacrificed for Michigan. So let our leaders gathered today see the residents of this state with that same sacrificial love and rule in a manner that places their best interests to the forefront. To the men and women that You allow to be in these seats in this season at this hour, I give You thanks and ask for personal blessing upon them and their families.

We pray for peace so that our military will not unnecessarily be placed in harm’s way, but if a righteous call requires our brave men and women to action, we pray for their protection. We pray for discernment for our President and Congress to know the difference. We pray, from the local level to the national, for a trustworthy government so that we who are citizens may easily be trusting of their work. In Your sovereignty, God, would You bless Michigan as we in Michigan bless You.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

The President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.
