[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 2] [House] [Page 2461] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] PRAYER The Reverend Dr. Adolphus C. Lacey, Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Peekskill, New York, offered the following prayer: Eternal and all wise God, creator of life and light, we bless You on this day that You have let life and light dwell in each of us. We thank You, O God, for another opportunity to get it right. We pray now for Your discernment for these Representatives as they deliberate on the course of this great Nation. May their thoughts be on the common good and their actions help form a more perfect Union. We pray for strength in the continued sacrifices that each son and daughter, husband and wife make as they send a piece of themselves to serve all of us. May their sacrifices be not in vain. Grant now to each Representative purpose, clarity of mind, determination and commitment, not only for this day, but also in the continuing days of this 110th Congress. Hear our prayer, O God, and grant to each of us Your peace. Amen. ____________________
