                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Jack Hibbs, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, Chino, California, 
offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, together 
we come before You in humility as a people in need of Your forgiveness, 
Your mercy, Your goodness, and Your grace.
  For these 250 or so years, our fathers in this Congress have prayed 
for Your

guidance and protection. We stand here in humble petition that You 
today might do the same, that this Nation and its unparalleled 
Constitution--Your great gift to all freedom loving people--might be 
renewed here and across this land as a beacon of hope to all who seek 
peace.
  I ask You today, Father, to bring to us a great awakening of 
righteousness and confidence in You who alone are mighty to save.
  Hear my cry in this hour of great need that we might be humbly 
blessed before You in repentance of our national sins.
  You, Almighty God, are the source of all wisdom, and there is no 
wisdom but that which comes from You.
  So please come upon those here who are the stewards over the business 
of our Nation with Your wisdom which comes from above and with Your 
holy fear knowing that Your coming day of judgment draws near when all 
who have been and are now in authority will answer to You, the great 
judge of heaven and of Earth.
  For the decisions that they make here in this place, I offer this 
prayer to You, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and our 
crucified Savior and resurrected Lord.
  In Jesus' name.
  Amen.
