                                 PRAYER

  Chaplain Captain Keith Manry, U.S. Air Force, Arlington National 
Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Creator who stretched out the spacious skies and makes the eagle 
sore, we approach Your throne in humility. Your Word says that You 
place men and women like those in this assembly in positions of 
authority. May each of these remain humble in their position and 
grateful for the immense responsibility and trust to them extended.
  God, be to these servants of the people a constant source of wisdom. 
May the hallmark of their decisions be righteousness and the fruits of 
their labor be justice and mercy. Fill them with Your spirit and bless 
them for their service.
  Finally, God, be with the people on whose behalf we gather. From 
coast to coast and in places far away, be with those who call this land 
home. Heal divisions and bind wounds. Strengthen us. And when the Sun 
sets on Old Glory, may we be a land that blesses You.
  Amen.
