                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Deamon Scapin, Triumph Church DC, Washington, D.C., offered 
the following prayer:
  Almighty God, You are the righteous lawgiver. We pray now for the 
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives as they work in their 
respective districts this week. Give wisdom and divinely inspired 
judgment to each of them so they may represent us properly, legislate 
effectively, and govern with all humility.
  Bless their families. Refresh their spirits. Let them live in awe and 
reverence of God, and enact legislation that honors You, while ensuring 
the dignity of all people in the continuance of our great Nation.
  Bind the divisive spirits that have fractured our national unity and 
stop the mouths of those who stir up strife and contention.
  Today, we humble ourselves, ask for Your forgiveness, and pray that a 
spirit of reconciliation and unity would permeate our land.
  In the strong name of Jesus, we pray.
  Amen.
