                                 PRAYER

  Lieutenant Commander James Dance, Chaplain, United States Navy, 
Office of the Chief of Navy Chaplains, Washington, D.C., offered the 
following prayer:
  Eternal God, we acknowledge that the Earth is Yours and the fullness 
thereof; the world and they that dwell therein.
  Because of whom You are, we deem it imperative that we seek You for 
wisdom and guidance as we endeavor to open yet another session of the 
House during which we shall attend to the interests of the American 
people.
  Help us to temper our conversations with humility and patience as we 
give due diligence to the work that has been assigned to our hands. May 
we be imbued with a renewed sense of passion, purpose, and patriotism 
as we strive to serve this great Nation that we all love.
  Bless these, our United States. It is in Your most holy Name we pray.
  Amen.
