                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Kenneth Johnson, Seaman United Methodist Church, Seaman, 
Ohio, offered the following prayer:
  Most gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You for blessing the United 
States, and we humbly ask You, Lord, for your continued blessings.
  Thank You, Lord, for the honorable Members of the House of 
Representatives. Help each Member and their families with their daily 
struggles in life. Provide each Member with daily health, providential 
care, and prosperity. Guide and direct the Representatives to make 
legislative decisions that will help our country to prosper 
economically and that the United States will continue to be a guiding 
light throughout the world.
  Lord, we ask You to protect our Nation and help us to remember, 
``With God, all things are possible.'' Help us to be one Nation under 
God. Forgive us of our sins and for the times we have not trusted in 
You.
  As George Washington closed his prayer in April of 1789, ``Grant our 
supplication, we beseech thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, amen.''
