The North Dakota State Legislature convened on March 28, 2025, for a House Floor Session that began with a moment of reflection and prayer led by Pastor Letvin. The session opened with condolences expressed for the late Representative Josh Christie, who had passed away 40 days prior. The pastor emphasized the collective mourning and support from across the state for Christie's family during this difficult time.

Following the acknowledgment of loss, Pastor Letvin transitioned to a more uplifting note, sharing a brief encounter with former Governor Ed Schafer, who encouraged him to deliver a message of hope. The prayer focused on themes of guidance, wisdom, and righteousness, invoking various scripture passages to inspire the legislators as they prepared for the day's discussions.

The prayer concluded with a call for blessings upon the body of legislators, asking for discernment and the ability to make sound decisions during the session. The assembly then proceeded to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, marking the formal start of legislative business for the day.

This session reflects the ongoing commitment of the North Dakota State Legislature to address both the emotional and procedural aspects of governance, fostering a sense of community and purpose among its members. Further discussions and legislative actions were anticipated as the session continued.
