Heavenly Father, Lord God Most High:

We thank you for this day and for the blessed opportunity to report on the affairs of our facility. We’re grateful to you for another moment to spend with our friends, our elected officials, as well as our business and community leaders.

We pray that you will bless our meeting and inspire us to continue in our efforts to make progress while making a difference in the lives of the men under our care. We ask in all humility that you will speak to us in our discussions and guide us in our planning.

As humans and citizens of this world, we are finite, living and working with many limitations. But with you, oh Lord, all things are possible.

So we ask that you will grant us, by your grace, the ability to offer hope, to see solutions and solve problems. Be with us, Lord.

As we move forward, we also ask for your blessings upon the meal that’s provided. We ask for these things in Jesus’ name.

And every heart said, Amen.
