                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Zane Fishel, Temple Baptist Church, Mount Airy, North 
Carolina, offered the following prayer:
  Our Great and Almighty Father, we thank You for the blessings of this 
day and the opportunity that we have to make a difference in our world.
  I pray that Your all-knowing wisdom be granted to each person 
responsible for the decisions that govern this great Nation. May Your 
divine leadership be followed as they seek Your paths.
  Give Your grace to these Representatives in the face of opposition 
and Your courage to enable them to stand for truth and right.
  We know the issues that face this country are complex and some are 
seemingly unresolvable. But we look to You for wisdom, knowledge and 
guidance to assist the men and women with this awesome responsibility.
  Make America a stronger Nation by using these individuals to make 
Godly decisions. God bless our President, our Representatives, and God 
bless our troops and pour out Your richest blessings on America.
  We ask this in the name of our Eternal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
Amen.
