                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Christopher Weidner, St. Luke Lutheran Church, 
Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania, offered the following prayer:
  O God, You are our help in ages past, our hope for years to come.
  We remember Your servant leaders who have come before us, speaking 
light out of darkness, fashioning order out of chaos, and, mindful of 
the voiceless, daring decision and deploying power for the life of our 
Nation and the care of the Earth.
  Move us by their witness, O God, and guide us by Your wisdom in every 
opportunity that comes before us now.
  And when our way is uncertain, untraveled, or unclear, when failure 
or fatigue drive us apart, restore our footing, reconnect us, by the 
gravity of Your grace.
  Remember us as one body, Members of this one House, faithful in our 
one service.
  Give us courage, inspire our imagination, nudge us to dare the 
possible in Your gift of today with our gifts for tomorrow, in Your 
holy name, we pray.
  Amen.
