                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Kyle Wright II, Holy Cross Lutheran Church and School, 
Collinsville, Illinois, offered the following prayer:
  In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, amen.
  I thank and praise You, Heavenly Father, for moving each and every 
one of these men and women to serve this country which You sustain in 
Your mercy. Watch over them this day that Your will be done in their 
discussions, decisions, and, most of all, their actions.
  You are the God of all power and might who, out of love for Your 
creation, established order from chaos, peace from discord, and life 
from death.
  For the sake of Christ Jesus our Lord, forgive us of our pride, our 
disobedience, and our poor stewardship of what You have placed into our 
care. According to Your mercy, open the eyes and hearts of Your people 
so they may know the depth of Your love found only in Christ Jesus.
  Dear Lord, I commend to Your care our Congress, our government, and 
our Nation, as You judge and keep us according to Your just mercy.
  In Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
