                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Ron Bracy, Geneva Classical Christian School, Fair Oaks Ranch, 
Texas, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty, sovereign, creator and eternal holy God, You have shown 
great kindness and mercy to all Your people. Let Your ears be attentive 
and Your eyes open to this prayer for Your servants, these men and 
women of Congress, who are Your representatives of the people of this 
Nation.
  May we remember that in the beginning You gave us this Nation and the 
freedoms and abundant blessings we enjoy.
  But O, Lord God, we confess our sins toward You. We have not obeyed 
the simplest of Your commandments: ``To love the Lord God with all your 
heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, 
and to love your neighbor as yourself.''
  We ask that You grant us forgiveness and give us wisdom, 
understanding, and compassion to these Your servants.
  In the name of God, our heavenly father, Jesus Christ the Son, and 
the holy spirit.
  Amen.
