                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Rebecca Hartvigsen, Home of Guiding Hands, Santee, 
California, offered the following prayer:
  Every head bowed, every eye closed.
  Thank You, God, for being here this morning.
  Surround us, remind us, You have fearfully and wonderfully made us 
all. From the most impaired to the most vigorous, You are not a 
respecter of persons.
  You know each by name. You know the numbers of hairs counted on our 
head. You know our thoughts this moment and at all times.
  Please walk among Members of the Congress. Pour out Your anointing of 
wisdom, knowledge, understanding. Assign each bodyguards of Godliness 
and integrity. Give all freshness of spirit, renewed faith; brighten 
their hopes for peace, justice for all. Touch Your servants, Father. 
Bless them and bless their families.
  Bless all who live, love and work in this great Nation.
  In His name, Amen.
