                                 PRAYER

  Rev. Gene Mills, Louisiana Family Forum, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 
offered the following prayer:
  We bow our hearts before You, the great and Mighty King.
  May today's deliberations be pleasing in Your sight. Let our heart's 
desire honor each of Heaven's treasures--faith, family, and freedom.
  Father, let Your grace touch each need present here today. May every 
family member represented know the love of the Father, the presence of 
His Son, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
  Protect and guide our soldiers in the field and all of those who 
uphold law and order across this country and around this world.
  Cause the muddy waters of the Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and 
Ohio Rivers to recede rapidly and do no additional harm. But allow the 
rivers of living water to flow freely throughout this land.
  Let Providence be evident in our actions today, and may we possess 
Your talking points, Your heart, and Your mind in the matters of 
national importance.
  Finally, we pray, as we were instructed by Your word, for the peace 
of Jerusalem and throughout the Middle East. May Thy will be done 
today. In the name of the Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. 
Amen.
