                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend James P. Campbell, Pastor, Christ Life Church, 
Woodstock, Illinois, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. Almighty God, once more this esteemed body gathers to 
legislate for the people of this Nation.
  The scripture states ``that government is God's servant for good.'' 
Remind hearts of this in all actions today. Help these great women and 
men to remember those who are less fortunate in all their decisions 
that they make.
  We lift our Nation up to You for protection against terrorism and to 
protect our troops everywhere. Bring peace to our Nation, Father, and 
peace to all the troubled areas of the world.
  Help those in this Chamber that struggle with illness, bring healing 
and health. Help those who wrestle with personal or family problems, 
bring solutions and peaceful resolve. Aid each Member of this House who 
is in the valley of indecision concerning matters of this Nation to 
make the right decision and action. Most of all, Father, let us feel 
Your love and care for all of us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
