                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Bob Warren, Pastor, Arlington Heights Evangelical Free 
Church, Arlington Heights, Illinois, offered the following prayer:
  Our gracious and loving Heavenly Father, we worship You and thank You 
that You have revealed Your heart to us through Your Son.
  We come at the beginning of this legislative session today to ask 
that Your wisdom and guidance prevail. We confess that maybe too often 
we are self-seeking. Forgive us and help us to exercise the entrusted 
authority in a way that would be pleasing to You.
  Even throughout the course of this day, remind us that every aspect 
of life is from Your hand, and in these challenging days, help us to 
see all the issues of life, faith and freedom through Your eyes. I pray 
that You would guide each of these elected representatives to lead our 
Nation in right paths.
  We acknowledge our dependence upon You. Yours, O Lord, is the 
greatness and the power, and the splendor and the majesty, where 
everything in heaven and on earth is Yours.
  Hear our prayers. May Your blessing be upon our Nation. In Your name, 
Jesus, we pray, Amen.
