                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Guillermo Maldonado, King Jesus International Ministry, 
Miami, Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Our Father in Heaven, we come together in this House of the Congress 
to exalt Your Holy Name, thanking You for the rights and freedom You 
have given us. We ask You for Your wisdom to come upon each Member of 
Congress as they come together in the business of establishing 
righteous laws.
  We pray, Lord, that Your Kingdom come, that Your will be done in this 
place as it is in Heaven. Only by Your Holy Spirit can there be real 
unity, real reconciliation, and real solutions to the pressing issues 
that come through this House.
  Lord, Your Kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy. May Your 
righteousness prevail. May Your peace cover each Member of Congress. 
Give them wisdom. May Your joy be heard throughout the land. May You 
bless the United States of America.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
