                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Robert Michaels, Serve & Protect, Brentwood, Tennessee, 
offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, we humbly come before You asking for wisdom, unity, and 
peace.
  We are reminded that September 9, 1776, the Continental Congress 
declared the name of our new Nation to be the United States of America, 
no longer United Colonies. Our national unity was strong.
  Lord, we also remember unity September 11, 2001, when terrorists 
attacked our Nation. Again, our Nation stood united, strong, and 
resolute.
  Today, Lord, we pray for that same commitment to unity, that sense of 
all for one and one for all. We pray for our military and first 
responders, noble heroes all.
  Please, Lord, help our leaders. Grant wisdom and vision; help them 
serve this great Nation, under God, ``with liberty and justice for 
all.'' One Nation. One heart. One mind.
  We sincerely pray this as one Nation under God, as Jesus taught us to 
pray, to our Father, who is in heaven.
  Amen.
