The Assembly met in the State Capitol Rotunda. Pursuant to Section
13.02 of the Wisconsin Statutes and Assembly Rule
5, the Assembly was called to order by the chief clerk of the 1993-94 session, Thomas Melvin.
The prayer was offered by Susan Vergeront, former representative from the 60th Assembly District:
"Lord, the words of Jefferson and Lincoln are echoed again in 1994; words that point us to our need for Your gracious guidance and provision; words that proclaim our very real need to turn to you and acknowledge you as God in what ever way and tradition is ours.
Lord, our prayers this afternoon are especially for the ladies and gentlemen who have been elected to seats in this Assembly -- these representatives and representatives-elect, so eager to be called the servants of the people. Lord, we pray that You give them the heart of a servant so that they may put the good of the people, and the good of Your Kingdom, ahead of selfish interests.
Lord, we lift these servants up...
Each of them has accomplished much, just by being elected to represent the voters who placed their trust in them at the ballot box.
The voters trust that their elected officials will be truthful in their words, diligent in their work, and honest in their dealings with each other here and with the voters at home.
With Your help Lord, they can and will fulfill those expectations...
Lord, we would ask that You help them to keep priorities firmly in place.
Give them a perspective that stretches far beyond the next election...may their perspective reach out to You Lord and to our eternal destiny as Your people.
Give them perspective, so they can see in the pressures of the moment what is really important to focus on.
Give them patience ...patience to know that the battles ahead may be fierce, but are there for only a moment, and then pass, the good or harm done in those moments can bring glory or shame.
Lord, give them a double helping of discernment to know when it is time to speak out and when its time to be silent...in the heat of the moment, this wisdom is especially needed.
Lord, give them a large measure of humor...give Your servants assembled here the gift of laughter, to laugh at themselves and with others,
And the gift of joy. Give them...hearts that are full of the joy that can only come from knowing You and walking with You.
Give them perseverance Lord, the perseverance they need to stand for what they know to be right, even if it means standing alone.
Give them compassion Lord, in their dealings with those who need help. May their compassion be filled with wisdom, so that there help lifts people out of their adversities, and gives the tools needed to be as self sufficient as their circumstances would allow.
Give them compassion also Lord, in dealing with one another, this can be a mean and ugly place, Lord, and when it is, it demeans and degrade the body and institution.
Lord, the words of Paul in Romans 12 seems especially appropriate...where Paul tells us to
Let love be genuine;
Hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good
Bless those who persecute You; Bless and do not curse them.
Live in harmony with one another; Do not be haughty but
Associate with the lowly,
Do not claim to be wiser than you are
Do not repay any one evil for evil
But take though for what is noble in the sight of all.
If it is possible so far as it depends on you live peaceable
With all
Never avenge yourselves but leave room for the wrath of God
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
Lord, we would ask that You write these words on the hearts of all elected officials, and indeed on all our hearts.
Our prayers this afternoon are also for the families of the representative, we pray for their safety, for endurance in times of separation, and encouragement when pressures and demands press upon them. Help them hold fast to their faith in You and their love for each other.
A2
So again Lord, we pray for the gifts of
Wisdom to know that is right,
Courage to stand for what is right,
Perspective to hold on to the good and let go of the bad.
May all that is done and said in this Assembly be worthy of the trust placed in these people, and may it serve to further Your Kingdom.
Lord we lay all these prayers before You in whatever name we know to be holy,
And this I would pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."
