[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 2] [House] [Page 1815] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] PRAYER Dr. French B. Harmon, First Baptist Church, Somerset, Kentucky, offered the following prayer: Heavenly Father, we offer praise to You as we begin this day with the Members of the 110th Congress. May Your presence fill this historic Chamber and Your light shine upon these Your servants. You have blessed the United States by bringing together, in this House of Representatives, men and women of tremendous courage, commitment, and character. We ask Your divine guidance in their momentous decisions this February day. The Scriptures teach us: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Lord, continue reminding us of Your loving kindness and grace. Please renew the strength of our military personnel that serve around the world and provide peace for each family that waits here at home. We especially ask that You comfort the families of those who lost loved ones during the recent storms throughout the southern States. Be with our President as he travels to this region of the country today and give wisdom to our leaders as they assist our fellow citizens. In Your holy name I pray. Amen. ____________________
