The speaker pro tempore the house will be in order. The prayer will be offered by the chaplain, chaplain kibben. Chaplain kibben would you pray with me. Almighty and powerful god. Our creator and defender, we call upon you this day to speak into the whirlwind of the life threatening storm surge and catastrophic winds that now bombard the florida peninsula and have left behind unfathomable destruction in cuba. As Hurricane Ian rages, those who are caught in its ravages are filled with dread. Their personal calamity is its own whirlwind around them. In their distress and anguish, they and we on their behalf pray to you for their safety and refuge. For you, alone, have the power with but a word to cause the tempest to still and the wind and waves to be hushed. So speak your word. Shine your light into the darkness of these days. And listen to these fervent prayers. Deliver the thousands of evacuees from their plight. Leave them to find shelter in you from all that threatens them this day.
