State Rep. Jay Kilmartin

This was too good to not share.

At the beginning of this session Chaplain Charles Seastrunk retired in January.

Chaplain Jeff Lingerfelt was voted in unanimously.

Having known Jeff since I joined the house I thought he was the perfect replacement.

As you may know, we have a prayer and Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of each day that we’re in session.

This prayer on Tuesday really touched my heart so I asked Chaplain for a copy. Thank you Chaplain for your encouragement and prayers.

Truth for Today:

PASSAGE: Psalm 33:13-14

THE LORD LOOKS FROM HEAVEN; HE SEES ALL THE SONS OF MEN;

FROM HIS DWELLING PLACE HE LOOKS OUT ON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH.

LET US PRAY:

Our LORD and ever blessed Father, you are in your holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men. O LORD You have established Your throne in heaven, and Your kingdom rules over all men and all that is in, on, above and beneath the earth. There is not one molecule that escapes Your sovereign control!

In your rule, you are kind and gracious, abounding in faithfulness, slow to anger and superabounding in loving-kindness.

We are here as your appointed elected officials to administer Your will in the affairs of men. We stand in need of your help, for without You we can do nothing. Please grant wisdom, discernment and knowledge to rule this day and this Great State.

For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. May Your will and word flow through us this day for Your great name’s sake—AMEN.

An update on medical freedom:

We are still pushing to make ivermectin available over the counter. We’re close, but it continues to get delayed. The reality is, if we don’t move this forward immediately, we risk running out of time in the Senate.

Thank you to everyone who has been speaking up, especially the medical freedom groups and the doctors who stepped up to testify. Keep the pressure on. This matters.
