                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Dr. Roger D. Willmore, First Baptist Church, Weaver, 
Alabama, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, we enter into Your presence with praise and 
adoration and thanksgiving in our hearts for who You are. We 
acknowledge You as our creator and sustainer. We are dependent upon You 
in every area of life.
  Today I am asking that You would impart wisdom and guidance to the 
officers and Members of this body. May their decisions today and every 
day be in Your will. May they find in You the spiritual resources for 
all that is required of them.
  Father, I pray for our President and Vice President and all Members 
of Congress as they work together to lead our country in a manner that 
would be pleasing to You.
  Lord, I thank You for our great country. I thank You for every 
blessing You have bestowed upon us. I ask You to forgive us where we 
have failed You and enable us to live in a manner that would be 
pleasing to You.
  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we 
ask or think according to the power that works in us, to Him be the 
glory in the Church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and 
ever.
  In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
