Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Heavenly Father, each day we bow before You at this time just for a minute or two to pray. Let it never be wasted or boring moments. Make it instead a precious time, as often we find our earthly anchors so far away. But in these moments of daily prayer may we feel a Power which we cannot understand fully. Make us to hold fast to that Power, God's presence, throughout the day, knowing that thereby we are given a purpose exceeding our ability to define. May we anchor our trust in our ever available God to enable us to do what we cannot do alone.
So be with us this day and every day. Amen.
