H7631 Congressional Record, Volume 162 Issue 185 (Friday, December 30, 2016) [Congressional Record Volume 162, Number 185 (Friday, December 30, 2016)] [House] [Page H7631] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PRAYER Reverend Michael D. Wilker, Lutheran Church of the Reformation, Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer: Eternal God, for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven. You have made each of us and gathered us together for this moment. Jesus Christ promised at the end of time that the nations will be judged by how they feed the hungry, refresh the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned. Thank You for guiding and encouraging us to answer Your call to justice and mercy in this past year. Forgive us for the ways we mistreated others and failed to care for Your creation. In the new year, astonish and disrupt us so that we may meet You when we serve those who are at the lowest rungs and the farthest margins of our society. When we are vulnerable or suffering, surprise us with Your amazing grace, steadfast love, and everlasting joy. Amen. ____________________
