                                 PRAYER

  Reverend John Rosenberg, Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 
Olympia, Washington, offered the following prayer:
  Holy one, we know You in an infinite variety of ways. By whatever 
name we call You, You are the one in whom we live and move and have our 
being.
  We ask Your blessing upon the Members of this House as they carry on 
the business of our Nation at this critical time in our history.
  Give them courage in the face of immense challenges, a spirit of 
cooperation despite their differences, and trust in Your divine 
guidance as they work together for the common good.
  When the path ahead is unclear, remind them that throughout the ages, 
Your prophets and holy ones have shown us what is good; that You 
require nothing more of us--but nothing less--than to do justice, to 
have compassion for one another, and to walk humbly with You, the 
beginning and the end of all things.
  Amen.
