                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Roy Bennett, Calvary Assembly of God Church, Jefferson City, 
Missouri, offered the following prayer:
  Our Heavenly Father, we come to You today, asking Your divine 
blessing upon this House of Representatives. As they are called upon to 
make many decisions, we ask for Your divine direction for not only this 
House, but for our President and all others that are called upon to 
lead this great Nation.
  Lord, help them to remember we are not great because of our vast 
resources or our manufacturing abilities, but because our forefathers 
believed when Your word said, ``Blessed is the Nation whose God is the 
Lord.'' And as they looked to You, Lord, You led them, and Your 
blessing was upon this great land.
  But today, Lord, we need Your divine direction and blessing to be 
upon this Nation more than ever. And now, Lord, let Your blessings be 
upon each one of these men and women that are leaders today. This we 
pray in Jesus' name.
  Amen.
