                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Alisa Lasater Wailoo, Capitol Hill Methodist Church, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Ever-Present God, we know You by many names, but most striking, You 
know us and each person we represent by name and with love. Thank You.
  God who heals, we pray for the full restoration of Representative 
Giffords

[[Page H1403]]

and for the personal struggles of each person here. Remind us that You 
have the power and desire to heal each wound we carry into this 
Chamber.
  Uniting God, give us the wisdom to understand how to work together 
for the plight of Your people in need. Save us from ourselves and 
surprise us with shared solutions for the problems Your children face.
  God of all, we represent not only those who have our ear, but those 
who have no voice. So let us not raise our hands to vote without bowing 
our hearts to Your will. Through Your love that changes the world, we 
pray.
  Amen.
