House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  Commissioner John Busby, National Commander, Salvation Army, 
Alexandria, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Creator, Preserver and Governor of all things, we 
humbly bow before You on behalf of those gathered here; individuals who 
find pleasure in serving the people of this great country.
  With thankful hearts for Your goodness to each of them, we earnestly 
pray that You will take their minds and give them a new measure of 
wisdom, take their hearts and fill them with Your love for others, and 
take their wills and make them more obedient to Your will.
  May Your servants here proceed step by step, hour by hour to meet the 
challenges You have given them so that in the end, the purpose that You 
have set out for this House of Representatives may be accomplished for 
the enrichment of people across this land and to Your honor and glory.
  This we pray in Your holy name. Amen.
