         HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, December 12, 2007

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Bishop Earl J. Wright, Sr., Greater Miller Memorial Church of God in 
Christ, Warren, Michigan, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Who hath so lavishly blessed our land, keep us ever 
aware that the good things we enjoy come from Thee.
  We recognize Thee as Lord of our Nation. We thank Thee for a 
beautiful and bountiful America, for its people of all classes, colors, 
and creeds.
  We are grateful for workers in industry, for farmers, doctors, 
nurses, teachers, and ministers. We thank Thee for soldiers, sailors, 
and airmen, who guard and protect us day and night. We thank Thee for 
all forms and levels of government, local, State, and national, and 
most especially for this, our United States Congress. We now pray that 
Thou will give them courage and strength to provide honest government 
for our Nation, abundant provisions to meet our needs, love towards 
each other, and peace for one another.
  Forgive us our sins and accept our gratitude through Jesus Christ our 
Lord. Amen.
