[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 2] [House] [Page 2177] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] PRAYER Chaplain John Beaver, National Chaplain of the American Legion, Mobile, Alabama, offered the following prayer: Our Lord God, we give You our praise for being so faithful and trustworthy. We give You our gratitude for displaying to us Your awesome presence in a very powerful way. We ask for Your wisdom to be given to each congressman and congresswoman in their deliberations today. Give them a compassionate heart, humility and discernment, and may we sense a unity through Your unfailing love. We pray for the men and women in our military. Shield them from all dangers and give them the assurance of Your guidance and strength so that they may safely return home to their loved ones. Give comfort to our wounded warriors in body, mind, and spirit. Comfort those who are now grieving the loss of their loved ones. Bless all our veterans and military organizations who serve from their hearts. Strengthen us in heart, mind, and spirit as we serve You, our God, and our beloved Nation. Amen. ____________________
