            HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Tuesday, July 19, 2005

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Reverend Dr. Jerry C. White, Pastor, Riverside Baptist Church, 
Greer, South Carolina, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, our Nation has experienced many victories because of 
people like those here today. Often success did not come with rushing 
speed but by persistence and faithfulness. We are in Your hands as were 
our forefathers of old. Enlighten the minds of Your servants with 
wisdom, guide their counsel, and prosper their work that what they do 
shall result in good. Give calmness in the face of storms, 
encouragement in the face of frustration, and humility in the face of 
their success. May You grant them wisdom and virtue to perform their 
part with the fervor of a patriot and the art of a statesman in 
thought, in word, and in deed. Direct their paths that they may lead 
with boldness and assurance knowing that our cause is far greater than 
any one of us. I pray this prayer in the name of my Lord and Savior, 
Jesus Christ. Amen.
