Rep. Steve Carra, from the 59th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Lord, thank You for this day and thank You for this opportunity You have bestowed to each and every one of us. As the Bible says in Proverbs Chapter 2 verse 6 ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ Guide our paths. Give us the patience, focus, and clarity to understand the issues before us. Give us the wisdom to set aside pressures and temptations to deviate from Your will. Guard not only our hearts to do what’s best for the people of Michigan, but also guard our minds from confusion and folly. Help us to understand all viewpoints and ultimately guide this body to carry out Your will in all that we do. In Your name, we pray. Amen.”
