  The Reverend Wade A. Hyslop, Jr., Trinity Missionary Baptist Church, 
New London, Connecticut, offered the following prayer:
  Our God, the ruler of this Nation, who has given us this good land 
for our heritage, we humbly beseech You that we may always prove 
ourselves a people mindful of Your favor.
  We ask that You lead and guide Speaker Pelosi and send down Your 
spirit of wisdom and justice on these Representatives, that they may 
serve with a steadfast purpose and devotion to their office to promote 
the well-being of all people.
  We ask You to bless the men and women of our Armed Forces who are 
defending our country at home and on foreign soil, protecting our 
liberties.
  Unite us in these turbulent times. Give us peace, love and 
understanding. We place all things in Your hands. Amen.
