                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Alexander Breckinridge IV, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 
Medina, Washington, offered the following prayer:
  God of love and mercy, the fountain of all wisdom, whose will is 
gracious and whose law is truth, fill the people of this Nation with a 
zeal for justice and hearts for mercy that we might each walk humbly 
before You all the days of our lives.
  In times of prosperity, may we be filled with gratitude and 
thanksgiving, and in the day of trouble, let not our trust in You fail.
  Grant that the Members of this House assembled may be guided by Your 
will to enact only such laws as are pleasing in Your sight to the glory 
of Your name and the well-being of our Nation and all the world; and 
let our words spoken here be charitable and patient and kind, that they 
may be a reflection of Your tender love for all Your people.
  All these things we pray in Your most holy name.
  Amen.
