                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Darryl D. Roberts, 19th Street Baptist Church, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  O God, our redeemer, we give You the highest praise.
  Saturate our hearts in Your love so that our will may be lost in Your 
perfect plan for creation.
  We thank You for the Members of the people's House, who believe, in 
the

words of Thomas Jefferson, ``that every human mind feels pleasure in 
doing good to another.''
  May You endow each elected official and staff with abundant grace, 
wisdom, and compassion to stand for the public interest over personal 
interest, people over politics, love over hatred, truth over falsehood, 
and courage over fear.
  May Your spirit breathe on this session, bring synergy in the midst 
of diversity, and promote unity for the benefit of the common good 
until we reach that glorious daybreak when justice shall roll down like 
water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
  Amen.
