Mr. Wells: Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You so much for the blessings You have given to this country, our state and to this county government. We ask that You make us mindful of all the things that we enjoy that are of Your doing, not ours. Make us mindful that Your blessings are nothing that we deserve or have earned but Your gracious gift to us. Please keep Your Hand over and protect the leaders of our country, state and our county. Lord, we need Your protection more now than we have in many years. Help us be mindful of the potential for dangers and please guard us from those. Watch over each and every person here participating, give us your wisdom and protect us from sin. In Christ's name, Amen.
