                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  As this 110th Congress resumes in this Second Session for debate and 
passage of new bills, we pray to You, the almighty and all-powerful 
Lord. With prophetic words, we plead that You would rip open the 
heavens and come down to be with us.
  Then Your holy name will be known by true believers and enemies as 
well. Nations shall tremble before You and forge a new alliance 
together. No ear has ever heard, no eye has ever seen what great deeds 
You can accomplish for those who wait upon Your visitation.
  Do not hold back, O Lord. Do not remain silent. Come upon us with 
Your grace and power. Make of us Your people, that we may accomplish 
Your holy will and give You praise now and forever. Amen.
