                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Cathy C. Jones, Parkwood Institutional CME Church, 
Charlotte, North Carolina, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God our Father, because of who You are and the glory that is 
revealed in Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, we praise Your Holy 
Name.
  Lord, Your Word declares ``if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God 
that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be 
given him.''
  We ask for Your unmerited favor upon the lives of every elected 
Member of the House of Representatives to provide the wisdom, 
knowledge, understanding, and courage that will allow their hearts to 
be filled with the principles of justice, loyalty, compassion, 
humility, and love so that we can continue to be united as one Nation 
under God.
  In the name of Him who is able to keep us from falling and present us 
faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
  Amen.
