                         NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks the 63rd annual National 
Day of Prayer. Tomorrow morning, I will join a bipartisan group of 
Members to gather together and pray for our country.
  As we continue to face obstacles each day, both as a country and as 
an individual, I urge Americans to join us in praying for wisdom and 
guidance, thanking God for the many blessings we have been given in 
this Nation.
  Our thoughts and prayers are with our brave servicemen and 
servicewomen and their families who are serving our country overseas 
and here, protecting our freedom and putting their lives on the line 
for our security. We pray they return home to our grateful Nation 
swiftly and safely.
  Let us also continue to pray for peace in our own communities. Psalm 
145 promises that the Lord is near to all who call upon Him, and I urge 
you to join me tomorrow in observing the National Day of Prayer.
