                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, 
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, 
and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and 
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and 
acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour * * *.--1 Timothy 2:1-3.
  Eternal God, Lord of history, Ruler of the nations, with grateful 
hearts we anticipate the annual national prayer breakfast to be held 
tomorrow morning. We pray that You will govern every detail of that 
significant event. As this microcosm of the world gathers--from every 
State in the Union and from more than 150 nations--make Your presence 
felt, and guide each participant.
  We pray for a special blessing upon President and Mrs. Clinton, Vice 
President and Mrs. Gore, and all those from the executive, legislative, 
and judicial branches of Government who are present, that they may be 
specially blessed and strengthened. We pray for Thy blessing upon the 
heads of state from a number of nations who will be present.
  Grant, mighty God, that this will not be just an event soon 
forgotten, but that it shall become a tidal wave of prayer for the 
Nation and the world.
  In the name of the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Amen.
