           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, July 16, 2003

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Deborah J. Logan, Pastor, Christian Faith Fellowship 
Church, Zion, Illinois, offered the following prayer:
  I exhort and encourage first of all that supplication, prayer, 
intercession and giving of thanks be made for all men. I pray for this 
Nation, our President, his cabinet and assistants, governors, Senators, 
Congress, judges, military and intelligence agencies and all those that 
are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all 
Godliness and honesty.
  I pray that in all their ways they acknowledge You, that You Lord, 
will lead, guide and direct them in their affairs facing our Nation and 
give the President divine wisdom and strength to make sound decisions 
when faced with crisis.
  I pray for Congress as they confer about the common wealth of their 
perspective region. Give them divine wisdom, knowledge, insight and 
understanding on how to effect change and make the proper changes for 
generations to come. I pray for divine safety and protection for them 
and their families. I pray for divine health and healing over their 
entire bodies, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. I 
pray that they have sound and happy marriages, children and families. 
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God 
to the pulling down of strongholds.
  Blessed is the nation whose God is Lord. Amen.
