                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Patricia Venegas, Without Spot or Wrinkle Ministries 
International, La Verne, California, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne room of grace today by 
unmerited favor. We thank You for this great Nation.
  Our forefathers faced many trials and tribulations in their days. 
They relied on You as they sought Your guidance for America, knowing 
they could not do it without You.
  Today, in this room, we humble ourselves before You and pause, asking 
You once again for Your guidance and perfect will for our Nation, as we 
pray Your kingdom come and Your will be done in America.
  I also pray for every Representative in this room today, who 
shoulders the immense responsibility to make decisions for the people 
they represent, give each one wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and 
discernment on every decision they make. I pray You will bless them and 
their families for the sacrifice they make for the American people.
  In Your holy name.
  Amen.
