                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Boyd Thomas Tucker, Sisk Memorial Baptist Church, Fort Mill, 
South Carolina, offered the following prayer:
  With praise and thanksgiving we bow before You, Father. We thank You 
for Your love and guidance in each person's life who serves in this 
room. Grant to the Members of this body wisdom to take up their duties 
today. James said, ``If any man lack wisdom, it shall be given him.''
  So we pray for wisdom and discernment in their decisions, 
understanding in their thinking, mercy in their judgments.
  We know that without You, Your guidance, we can do nothing, but with 
You, we can do all things. May we not be frightened by the problems 
that confront us as a nation, but give thanks that You are with us in 
this hour.
  May Your Word be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. 
Guide us this day, I pray in my Lord and Savior's name, Jesus Christ.
  Amen.
