                                 PRAYER

  Chaplain John Elliott, U.S. Air Force, Arlington National Cemetery, 
Arlington, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Father, I pray that You will bestow Your divine wisdom upon those 
gathered here today, as they are faced with a monumental 
responsibility: to decide how to lead our Nation and its people.
  May this assembled body be an example of one who keeps the weight of 
this responsibility forever in the forefront of their mind so that 
their decisions will impact our Nation in positive ways for all our 
generations.
  As we raise up the foundation of laws to govern us now, may we be 
called the repairer of the breach and the restorer of homes to people 
everywhere.
  Let us always remain a country that stands for righteousness, 
freedom, and truth, and may the light from this Nation continue to 
shine forth as a beacon of hope showing what the power of God's love 
can produce.
  Thank You for listening to our petition here today and for the 
blessings that You have made and will make abundant throughout this 
great and powerful Nation.
  I pray this in the name of Jesus.
  Amen.
