                                 PRAYER

  Pastor A.D. Shaw, Shekinah Glory Cathedral Church of God in Christ, 
Plant City, Florida, offered the following prayer:
  God of infinity and sovereignty and redeemer of humanity, grace us 
with Your mercy, as this 116th United States Congress forges the future 
of America.
  Cover the distressed and despondent, too often forgotten and 
manipulated, with unceasing care.
  Shelter the children of this Nation from the destructive silence and 
sins of their predecessors. Grant unto them courage and fortitude to be 
affirming and inclusive of all.
  Reclaim us to Your peace and unity, that we may truly be one Nation 
under God, the Nation known as the melting pot of the world.
  Therefore, redeem the soul of this Nation, and bequeath unto us 
wisdom, mercy, and love, that we may all encounter heaven on Earth.

  With the spirit of the ``20 and odd Negroes'' who arrived in this 
Nation 400 years ago, may we serve this present age.
  In the name of our Lord, amen.
