                                 PRAYER

  Rev. Dr. Clyde Mighells, Lighthouse Reformed Church, Howard, 
Pennsylvania, offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, who called this Nation into being through the lives and 
sacrifice of those whose hearts were stayed upon You; be upon and 
within this congressional body as they conduct the work of this great 
Nation.
  Grant them courage to stand for what is right, resistance when 
pressed to do wrong, compassion for the concerns of Your heart, and the 
ability to preserve and protect the Constitution of these United States 
of America.
  May the very mind of Christ be upon them as they labor to write the 
next chapter in the legacy of this great land; that their plans might 
be guided by the heritage upon which we stand, that their lives might 
reflect the calling to serve, and that this great Nation might continue 
to embrace and support the work of freedom and democracy throughout the 
world.
  It is in the blessed name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that we lay 
these requests at Your feet. Amen.
