                                 PRAYER

  Pastor Deamon Scapin, Triumph Church DC, Washington, D.C., offered 
the following prayer:
  Father of all nations, release Your power to heal our Nation.
  We know that You see everything, even secret and hidden things. God 
of Heaven, let truth reign. Let what is done in secret be shouted from 
the housetops. Bring justice and righteousness to this House. Forgive 
us when pride, selfishness, and greed have been the motivators for evil 
behavior. We seek Your face today, believing that You will heal our 
fractured system and expose all dishonesty.
  Bind the lying spirit of Satan and remove corruption, falsehood, and 
bias. Let discernment rule and wisdom permeate our decision makers. 
Reveal what needs to be revealed and cover what needs to be covered. 
May a spirit of unity and harmony come over both Chambers of Congress. 
Silence the voices of contention and division, amplify voices of 
healing and progress for Your glory and the good of this land.
  In the name of Jesus, we pray.
  Amen.
