                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Dr. Thomas F. Gulbronson, Senior Pastor, First Assembly 
of God Church, Alexandria, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Our gracious Heavenly Father, the one who gives grace to all people, 
we exalt Your name and implore Your righteousness. Thank You for this 
day and this particular time in history. You have blessed this Nation 
and we trust that You will continue to do so. May You draw together 
this great country of many cultures under the banner of love.
  We thank You for these lawmakers that have dedicated their lives to 
the service of this great Nation. May You continue to give each one of 
us strength and the fortitude to make choices according to Your divine 
will.

 May we walk in love, humility, gentleness, patience and peace, which 
are the attributes that the Apostle Paul described as worthy of our 
vocation or calling. By faith, we receive these blessings and glorify 
You.
  In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
