[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 11] [House] [Page 15750] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] PRAYER Reverend Roderick Pearson, St. Mark Remnant Ministries, Central Islip, New York, offered the following prayer: Our Heavenly Father, we acknowledge You as the sovereign ruler of the universe and the divine guide for all of our lives. You said ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be open. To Solomon, one of the world's richest and most powerful leaders of ancient times, You offered to him, ``What shall I give to you?'' We offer this prayer in the same spirit of Solomon: O God, You have shown great mercy to our Nation because our forefathers walked in Your truth, in Your righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You. You continue to be kind towards us. You have given these, Your servants, the ability to govern and serve. Therefore, now give to them an understanding heart, wisdom to judge Your people, that they might discern between good and evil. Let Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. In the name of our Lord and Savior we pray. Amen. ____________________
