           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Thursday, October 7, 2004

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Dan Remus, Senior Pastor, First Assembly of God, 
Kenosha, Wisconsin, offered the following prayer:
  Father, we thank You for this day. We declare with the Psalmist, 
``This is the day the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in 
it.''
  Lord, I thank You for our great Nation. I thank You for the freedoms 
we enjoy in America.
  Today we pray for Your protection for every man and woman serving in 
our armed forces. We pray for strength for their families. May they 
know the peace of God that passes all understanding.
  Lord, today I pray that You will give wisdom to these men and women 
who are elected representatives. I know that they want what is best for 
America. I thank You that Your word tells us, ``If any of you lack 
wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and it will be 
given to him.''
  We ask these things in Your precious name. Amen.
