House of Representatives

Wednesday, January 16, 2008
  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, if and when Members of Congress are ever broken-hearted or 
frustrated in their efforts to do Your will or accomplish good purpose 
for Your people, let them recall the words of Isaiah: ``Thus says God, 
the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them around the Earth 
and spread across the Earth crops and resources. It is I, the Lord, who 
have called you for the victory of justice. I have grasped you by the 
hand. I have formed you and set you as a covenant of the people and a 
light for the nations.''
  Open, Lord, their eyes that they may have a vision filled with hope 
and promise. Bring them out of their prison of emptiness and from the 
dizziness of their darkness. Glorify Your name in them and through them 
again and again, both now and forever. Amen.
