                                 PRAYER

  Rev. David Ferrell, Calvary Tabernacle, Perth-Andover, New Brunswick, 
Maine, offered the following prayer:
  Lord, I stand before You today and honor You as King of Kings and 
Lord of Lords. I ask Your forgiveness for human error and weakness.
  I thank You for these leaders that You have put in place as a check 
and balance to the direction of our great Nation. I pray that they be 
empowered with boldness and courage as they represent their 
constituents.
  I pray for Your guidance over today's proceedings and that Your 
wisdom rest on these elect for all future decisions they will face.
  Remind us that when we don't know what direction to take, we can 
entrust Your hand and word to direct us.
  I thank You for a strong United States and for the individuals who 
have answered the call to serve in this great House of Representatives.
  I pray Your blessings be on this place from now and forevermore.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
