                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Guillermo Maldonado, King Jesus International Ministry, Miami, 
Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Let's bow our heads and pray.
  Heavenly Father, thank You for this opportunity for the religious 
freedom that we enjoy in this country. We are grateful to our Founding 
Fathers who fought and died for us to have this freedom.
  Today, I lift up a prayer for each Member of Congress, and I ask You 
to give them the wisdom they need to govern and pass laws in favor of 
Your people.
  Lord, You are who places and removes kings from their throne, and You 
ask us to pray for all those in positions of authority so that we may 
live peacefully in this Nation.
  Lord, let Your will be done in this House as it is in heaven, for it 
brings peace and justice to this country. Let Your Holy Spirit guide 
each one of these men and women and rest upon their hearts and mind.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
