House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray, O gracious God, a full measure of your grace to all who seek 
you in prayer. To those who are ill or know uncertainty for their well-
being, grant healing and strength; for those who know not the joys and 
opportunities of freedom, grant liberty; for those who are fearful for 
their security or experience conflict or war, grant peace; for those 
who do not have the necessities of life, grant nourishment for body, 
mind, and soul; and for those who seek greater meaning or purpose in 
their own lives, grant direction and fulfillment and the blessed 
assurance of Your grace and love. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
