Gracious and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
In this Chamber where the people's House gathers, we pause to offer You gratitude for the gift of this good land on which we live and for this great Nation which You have inspired in developing over so many years.
Our Nation prepares for the ritual transfer of power, celebrated with the inauguration of our 45th President. Bless us all this week. Give to
us and all people a vivid sense of Your presence, that we may learn to understand each other, to respect each other, to work with each other, to live with each other, and to do good to each other. So shall we make our Nation great in goodness and good in its greatness.
May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.
“The Lord says this: Their prince will come from Jacob, their ruler come from their own people. I will let him come freely into my presence and he can come close to me. And you shall be my people and I will be your God.”
—Jeremiah 30:21-22
