                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Jonathan Weaver, Greater Mt. Nebo AME Church, Bowie, 
Maryland, offered the following prayer:
  To You, O Lord, the God of the universe and the author and finisher 
of life, we come today expressing our thanks for all that You have done 
for us, not just within the last few moments, but over the sweep of our 
lives, the triumphs as well as the turmoil.
  We pray that as the Members of Congress deliberate today, grant them 
even greater wisdom so that their actions will honor You in what they 
do to serve the people they represent.
  Help all of us to continue to look beyond ourselves and our personal 
interests and to seek ways to make life better for those around us, 
both near and far.
  I pray that even with and through our differences, that You will 
unite us as a people, so that our Nation will continue to prosper and 
honor You.
  Amen.
