                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, Shepherd of souls, during this session of the 106th 
Congress many guest chaplains have led the House in prayer.
  Today we wish to lift up these leaders and their faith communities 
across this country.
  Their prayer for this nation and its government lingers in this room.
  Bless them for their efforts to renew people in faith, hope, and 
love.
  Inspire them as they preach and guide Your people in so many 
districts of this nation.

  May they never lord it over those assigned to them, but instead, be 
examples of servant leadership to all in the flock.
  And when Your glory is revealed, Chief Shepherd of us all, may Your 
leaders in faith and government receive the unfading crown of glory.
  You live and reign now and forever. Amen.
