Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Almighty and most merciful God, we praise You for Your many blessings. Make us always conscious of our debt of gratitude, as we are constantly aware that we live in God's world, the objects of God's love, the arena of God's achievements, the scene of man's struggle - exciting, and full of hope, though sometimes confusing and full of anxiety; that we are God's people, called into being and sustained by His strength. Keep us aware that, as God's children, we are to seek His truths and to do His will.
So use us, we pray, to Your glory and to Your Name's honor.
Amen.
