                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Brian Britton, The Dwelling Place Churches, Williamsburg, 
Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, today we are thankful for Your great grace and 
faithfulness toward our Nation and its leaders.
  It is my prayer that You would continue to bless this Congress with 
Your wisdom, insight, and increased revelation of Your will for this 
land and its people.
  May Your holy spirit guide us into a greater unity with You and with 
each other. Shed Your light on the pressing issues of this day in such 
a way that Your glory would increase in the Earth.
  Open eyes to see what needs to be seen, ears to hear what needs to be 
heard, and grant each leader here the courage to do what needs to be 
done and to say what needs to be said.
  Today I declare that this Nation will continue to be a beacon of 
light, hope, prosperity, justice, and liberty to all the peoples of the 
Earth.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
