House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Anthony George, Pastor, Aloma Baptist Church, Winter 
Park, Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Our Father in heaven, we come to You this day acknowledging Your 
greatness, thanking You for Your benevolent and providential guidance 
in the founding and sustaining of this great Nation.
  In these times of uncertainty as nations rage against us, we humbly 
ask that You protect our people by Your intervening mercy, that You 
grant favor to our troops in their efforts to preserve the hope of 
freedom, and that You bless our President and the men and women of this 
Chamber in all their deliberations which they undertake for the safety 
and prosperity of our great country.
  Help us in our efforts to eliminate poverty, oppression and 
wickedness, and empower us to pursue truth, justice and righteousness.
  Though our sins are many, we ask that You show us mercy. Grant us 
wisdom, grant us courage that we fail not man nor Thee. In the name of 
Christ we pray. Amen.
