                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Brad Jurkovich, First Bossier, Bossier City, Louisiana, offered 
the following prayer:
  Dear God, we come before You today fully aware that we face 
tremendous challenges and tremendous opportunities as a nation. Your 
word says in Proverbs 2:6, ``For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth 
come knowledge and understanding.''
  As we prepare to debate, discuss, and discern the right solutions and 
strategies for this great Nation, we ask You, God, to give us Your 
wisdom, Your knowledge, and Your understanding.
  I pray for every leader here today that they know the power and 
presence of God is real and that there are millions of Americans 
praying for them to be men and women of courage, character, and 
conviction.
  I pray the decisions that come from this place be those that honor 
You, Lord, and bless the people of this land. Help us, O God, to be a 
nation that stands strong for freedom for our generation and the 
generations to come.
  In Jesus' name I pray.
  Amen.
