                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Carl Toti, Senior Pastor, Trinity Church, Lubbock, 
Texas, offered the following prayer:
  Let's welcome God's presence into our hearts and into this place.
  ``I lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from? My 
help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and Earth.''
  Father, hear our prayers. ``If My people, called by My name, will 
humble themselves, pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked 
ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their 
land.''
  We pray this Nation will return to the faith exhibited by men and 
women who trusted God, forged a Nation out of wilderness, raised 
families guided by standards from Your Word, and established a Nation 
that presently is the rival of the entire world. May the same standards 
be raised high by these leaders You have placed over us. May integrity 
and wisdom guide them to make decisions that please You.
  Father, shield our military troops protecting our freedoms around the 
world. May godly decisions be made concerning them.
  Lord, we ask that You would guide and bless our Representatives as 
they advance our Nation.
  I pray in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
  Amen.
