House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Rev. Chad Eaton, Biltmore Baptist Church, Arden, North Carolina, 
offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Heavenly Father, we ask for Your presence today in this 
great Chamber. Please bestow upon each Representative today divine 
wisdom and discernment.
  We stand at a difficult time in the history, not only of our great 
Nation, but of the world. May the decisions made here today not only 
honor the districts they represent, but first honor You.
  Father, it is because of Your great blessing and provision that this 
Nation has prospered in the past. I pray that this body recognize its 
need and continued dependence upon You to maintain that blessing.
  May these Members seek to be servants today instead of being served, 
and find favor with You because of their desire to know, honor and 
serve only God the Father, with humility, character, and courage.
  May God once again bless America.
  I ask this in the strong name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. 
Amen.
