                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Hardy Kim, Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church, Sunnyvale, 
California, offered the following prayer:
  Holy God, we give You thanks for this day filled with vibrant life, 
proving Your ongoing care for all creation.
  We thank You for the Members of this House, for the gifts they bear, 
the communities they represent, and the varied spiritual journeys that 
have formed them. Grant each of them understanding of Your divine 
truth, that they might wisely lead us along paths of righteousness.
  Remind us all today to do justice, love kindness, and to walk humbly 
before You. Moreover, bless the leaders in this diverse gathering. By 
them, make our Nation one body, ready to do Your will--with eyes to 
look upon the suffering in compassion, voices to speak love and 
affirmation to the dehumanized, hands and feet to go out and establish 
Your peace and justice for all, not just a few.
  Offering ourselves and these prayers into Your divine care, we pray.
  Amen.
