 Prayer by guest chaplain, the Rev. Tom Rees, associate pastor, Flint Hills Christian
Church, Emporia, and guest of Rep. Long:

       Our Father in heaven, we come to You this day thanking you for life. We thank
      you for creating us in Your image which gives us a special place and profound re-
      sponsibility above all other created things. Since you are Creator, you have enabled
      us to be creative in music, art, design and problem solving. Because You are wise,
      in Your image we have the capacity to reason, communicate, think and make choices.
      Help these gathered here to make good choices that honor You. Because You are
      Love, we have a capacity to receive and give love to others. Because you are com-
      passionate, you give us the potential for great compassion. Because You are eternal,
      You have placed eternity in the hearts of all people and You have made a way through
      Your Son, Jesus, obtain eternal life and through Him have shown us and empowered
      us to live as You intend--holy as You are Holy.

       There are things You are, that we cannot be. You are infinite; we are finite. You
      are all powerful and need nothing. We need much and depend on You, even for
      breath. You are everywhere all the time, even in this chamber. You see all; we cannot.
      Therefore, help these men and women to see what they must to govern properly.

       Dear Father, because each person in this room and in the world is created in Your
      image, we are all precious to You. Help us to realize by virtue of Your ownership
      and creation we must consider every person as precious as well. May these men and
      women here today aspire to everything that you are and may they lead our state to
      trust in You.

       I pray this to You in the name of the One who saves us from our sins, Jesus Christ,
      Your Son. Amen.
