                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Ted Kitchens, Christ Chapel Bible Church, Fort Worth, Texas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Father, we praise You for allowing us to be the land of the free and 
the home of the brave. We embrace the truth that we are all created in 
Your image. We all have value and purpose in this life and in this 
country because of Your love for us.
  Your Word says: The foundation of prosperity is righteousness and 
that ``when righteousness increases, the people prosper and rejoice.'' 
Would You cause personal and national righteousness to be our banner 
and our vision, that we might know your good favor across our great 
country.
  Father, this House has business to do for ``we the people'' today, 
and I pray that all transactions that take place in these halls today 
would be made with spiritual wisdom resulting in the best for all.
  I pray in the name of the giver of all grace and good favor, Jesus.
  Amen.
