[[Page 3526]]

  Compassionate and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day.
  We pray that You bless this country we love with all our hearts. We 
thank You for those who founded our Republic upon faith, respect for 
law, and constitutional rights of individuals, and the common good of 
the Nation and all its citizens.
  Fan the flame of freedom in the hearts of all Americans, and 
especially those who serve in the Armed Forces. Strengthen the resolve 
of all the Members of this people's House, that they, attentive to Your 
commands, may follow their consciences and always do what is right as 
they wrestle with complex issues.
  Grant that what they say with their lips they believe in their 
hearts, and what they believe in their hearts they may bring to 
practice in their lives and in our Nation.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
