           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, July 23, 2003

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Dr. Ben Haden, Changed Lives Ministries, Chattanooga, 
Tennessee, offered the following prayer:
  Join me in prayer.
  Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we come in simplicity and honesty. 
You are God; we are not. Thank You, Lord, for giving to these unique 
men and women the political gift to be elected and the opportunity to 
serve You, country, and their constituency. Bless us, Lord, on the 
inside and make Your will plain, that these Your leaders may lead and 
legislate to the honor of God and to the glory of this free country.
  Bless us, Lord, in this war against terrorism with victory and 
balance. Humble us and teach us Your greatness, Your love, and Your 
forgiveness. And bless these our leaders with judgment, vision, and 
confidence in our future. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my 
personal Lord, my personal saviour, and my personal friend. Amen.
