                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Cliff Lea, First Baptist Church of Leesburg, Leesburg, 
Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Living Lord, it is an honor to come and open our hearts before You 
today. We acknowledge Your greatness and power over us and all things. 
Thank You for salvation.
  It is with our deepest gratitude that we thank You for the privilege 
of being called Americans. With humility, let us realize the 
responsibility this privilege entails. Let Your presence in us be the 
light that causes this Nation to shine bright in the world.
  Grant Your favor, wisdom, and protection to our troops here and 
abroad. Place within our leaders and Representatives, here in the House 
and the Senate, a desire to make God-honoring decisions. May our 
President be guided by Your truth. In our differences, let us see You 
first.
  Please give each of us in this place and every citizen of this Nation 
a contrite heart and willingness to follow Your way.

  Amen.
