                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Zack Randles, Waterfront Church, Washington, DC, offered the 
following prayer:
  Lord, as I stand here today, a great many of our officials are taking 
meetings and seeking to better understand the people they represent 
while processing how to make the most of their coming year. Lord, we 
ask You to open their ears to hear what You hear, open their eyes to 
see what You see. We ask that You give them the wisdom to navigate the 
complexities of our world and that You would give them the words to 
bring clarity and insight.
  Remind them that their place in this sacred Hall has not been hastily 
won by their effort or their charisma, but that they have been divinely 
placed by the creator of the universe for such a time as this. Grant 
them favor where they need favor. Grant them peace where they need 
peace. Multiply their time and encourage them today. We ask these 
things in the mighty name of Jesus.
  Amen.
