                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Rev. Robert Kem, Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church, 
Omaha, NE, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  O Lord our Governor, whose glory is in all the world: We commend this 
Nation to Your merciful care, that being guided by Your providence, we 
may recognize You as our sovereign God and dwell in Your purpose and 
peace.
  Grant to the President of the United States and especially the 
Members of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives 
and to all in authority the wisdom and strength to know You and to do 
Your will.
  Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness. Make them ever 
mindful of their utmost calling to serve You as the chosen 
representatives of the people of this land. And in all that they do, 
may they serve You faithfully in this generation to the honor of Your 
holy name. Amen.
