The following prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor William Wilson, Grand Avenue
Wesleyan Church, Pierre:
Our Gracious Heavenly Father, You have been our faithful help in our blessed history, and
You remain our only hope for a bright future. Yours alone is all authority, so I come to You
today with a prayer for this governing body.
We are grateful that You have ordained this unparalleled system of government to help us
maintain freedom in our land. I pray that You would give Your blessing to all whom You have
placed in authority, giving them wisdom and understanding. Please give them a love for
righteousness and peace, so that under their leadership this great state of South Dakota would
continue to benefit from Your grace and favor.
Cause these men and women to be our examples of what it means to be leaders, and what
it means to be servants.
Lord, we pray for Your help in giving to our government the allegiance and respect that
it deserves and in giving to You the allegiance and respect that You deserve.
I offer this prayer to you in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States was led by Senate page Heather Mangan.
