                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Roger L. Story, National Children's Prayer Congress, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, we come in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus 
Christ.
  I pray this House and all national leaders will acknowledge Your 
divine authority, corporately, personally, and will understand their 
ultimate accountability to You, now and in time to come.
  I pray they and we will again recognize You, our only true source of 
blessing.
  The truth thunders, no matter how softly spoken, in the conscience of 
all. Let Your truth be preeminent in this House, that which is not true 
fully revealed. Your Word is true, our only plumb line.
  Cause leaders to know the way and how to receive and pour Your 
healing oil upon this Nation. Establish truth no one can refute. You 
are truth.
  Cause life to be honored. Your love conceived us. You are life. You, 
Lord, are all these: the way, the truth, the life.
  In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 
Amen.
