                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Bobby L. Johnson, First Assembly of God, Van Buren, 
Arkansas, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, today we come humbly and thankfully to You. Humbly, for 
allowing each of us to be in our positions and thankfully, for Your 
guidance at this time.
  None of us knows what this day holds, but we trust You to see us 
through every decision we make. Help us to realize that it is by Your 
hand that we are free and well. Grant us wisdom to know the right thing 
to do in every decision. Give us the strength to follow through with 
what is right regardless of the consequences.
  Within the hands of these public servants rests the destiny of this 
great Nation. Help this great body to bring peace to our Nation and the 
world. Give them the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Samson, the 
faith of Abraham, and the ability of David to accomplish the challenges 
we face. In Jesus' name, Amen.
