                                 PRAYER

  Reverend John Hill, Flint Hill United Methodist Church, Alexander 
City, Alabama, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious, mighty, and wonderful God, I pray for this historic 
Chamber, and I most humbly ask for Your wisdom, discernment, and grace 
to be showered upon these representatives of the people.
  Allow their decisions to be made with selfless interest, keeping a 
keen eye upon the good of our Nation as a whole. Let their collegiality 
and respect for one another be an example of statesmanship to our 
Nation. Give them the humbleness to bring differing opinions and work 
together toward the best solution.
  Allow them to disagree without vilifying, and may their differences 
be brought together for the good of the country so that the United 
States of America may be a shining beacon of hope and liberty to the 
world. May they be reminded of the sacred trust the people have placed 
in them and not shrink from this awesome responsibility that they have 
accepted.
  In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
amen.
