                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Tony Foster, Restoration Worship Center, Greenwood, South 
Carolina, offered the following prayer:
  Our gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for this great Nation that we 
have the honor to call home. Thank You for the blessings of this Nation 
for 247 years. The Bible declares: Blessed is the nation whose God is 
the Lord.
  Forgive us Lord, as a nation, that we have not always lived up to 
Your word or Your ways. But nevertheless, the Bible declares in 2 
Chronicles 7:14: ``If My people, who are called by My name, would 
humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked 
ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and forgive their sins, and heal 
the land.''
  Only You our God, through the power of Your spirit, can heal our 
land.
  I pray for our leaders today in the U.S. House of Representatives, 
that we would become again one nation under God, indivisible, with 
liberty and justice for all.
