                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Jack Trieber, North Valley Baptist Church, Santa Clara, 
California, offered the following prayer:
  Father, I thank You so much, Almighty God, that we can come into Your 
presence and pray for this great body of people that serve us.
  We thank You for our Congressmen today. We pray that You keep them 
safe, men and women, their children, their mates, their grandchildren. 
We pray for our country today that it would have this day of safety and 
security.
  Lord, it is my prayer that as our leaders serve today, that You give 
them wisdom, that You give them patience, that You give them kindness 
and understanding.
  May we remember the words of the Scripture that: ``Righteousness 
exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.'' Remember the 
Bible says today that: ``Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.''
  We thank You for America. We thank You for the privilege of prayer in 
this very sacred assembly.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
