The Oklahoma Senate opened its session on March 5, 2025, with a powerful invocation led by Senator Hace, emphasizing the importance of prayer in guiding legislative decisions. As the Senate prepares to close out the first deadline week, the prayer called for integrity, strength, faithfulness, courage, wisdom, determination, endurance, and obedience—qualities drawn from biblical figures to inspire the members in their upcoming challenges.

Senator Hace's heartfelt plea highlighted the significance of seeking divine guidance, referencing historical leaders like Presidents Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln, who found strength in prayer during difficult times. The invocation served as a reminder for senators to rely not solely on their own wisdom but to trust in a higher power as they navigate the complexities of governance.

As the session progresses, the focus remains on the critical decisions ahead, with the invocation setting a tone of reflection and purpose for the days to come. The Senate's commitment to prayer underscores its tradition and the values that guide its members in serving the state of Oklahoma.
