                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Don Williams, Maine State Police, Augusta, Maine, offered 
the following prayer:
  I thank You, God, for giving me the opportunity to represent You and 
the Maine State Police and the people of the great State of Maine. I 
pray that I represent them well, as should be the desire of this great 
body as they represent their States.
  My dearest Heavenly Father, I come to You today on behalf of this 
body of Representatives from our great and wonderful United States. As 
they represent their people, I ask that You give them wisdom and 
understanding from above.
  God, we all need Your wisdom. I thank You for these men and women who 
have given of themselves to represent their people and make decisions 
that will affect all the people of this great and wonderful Nation.
  God, please give them the character and integrity to rule this 
Nation. Give them strength to stand true to their beliefs and the 
courage to stand for what is true and right. Help us to be faithful to 
Your Word. Lord, I ask for Your blessing to return to our great and 
wonderful Nation.
  In thy Holy Name, I pray.
  Amen.
