                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Carl White, Highland Baptist Church, Meridian, 
Mississippi, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Lord our God, in these turbulent times when rhetoric is hot and 
passions aflame, be with us.
  Help the Members of this body to draw the lessons gained from the 
struggles of our history, that by respecting one another, we show the 
ultimate respect for You, our Creator.
  Help us to remember that it is never wrong to stand for freedom and 
that it is always best when we listen more than we speak.
  Show us anew the awesome power that is unleashed from the heart of 
love, and teach us yet again that most simple but profound lesson of 
life: that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
  Guide this House as they debate, vote, and interact with one another 
and their constituents. May we as a people conduct ourselves in such a 
way that we demonstrate our gratitude for Your continual blessings.
  In Your name we pray. Amen.
