SIXTH DAY, Thursday, January 11, 2007
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Pro Tem Bearden in the Chair.
Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.
On the day after the address of President Bush on the war in Iraq, let us pray for those in authority, as the scriptures guide us to do.
Almighty God, we pray for President Bush, the Secretary of Defense, all who advise them, and all who critique their decisions. Guide and challenge them all by Your grace, until they have purity of intention. Strengthen them with clarity of thought, full understanding and right judgment. We pray for the generals and other officers on the ground in Iraq. Give them courage and wisdom and proper concern for the innocent. We pray for all our armed forces serving in Iraq. Keep them safe.
We pray for the Prime Minister of Iraq and all who lead that government. Give them the wisdom and skill to develop a just and peaceful society.
Lord God, obeying Your word, we pray for the enemy. Heal them of their pain. Turn hatred to understanding.
Raise up leaders on all sides to work behind the scenes to discern the true causes of this war. Inspire those with the power on all sides to have the courage and integrity to remove the causes of war.
May our concern for the international involvements of our nation strengthen us today for our work here.
We pray Almighty God, our God forever and ever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
