                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Peter Frank, Church of the Epiphany, Herndon, Virginia, 
offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, maker and ruler of us all: You have given us a good 
land and made us into a great Nation.
  Today we ask Your blessing and guidance for the Members of the House 
of Representatives, their staff, and all who, in this place, support 
the work of government.
  Give them wisdom that they may fulfill with honor their 
responsibilities to those they represent.
  Defend them from the temptations that come with the authority they 
bear, so that they may serve You, serve each other, and serve the 
United States of America in humility and love.
  Comfort and care for those here today who are suffering private hurts 
as they do this public work. All this we ask in the name of Your Son, 
our Savior, Jesus Christ.
  Amen.
