	Our Heavenly Father,

God is the Lord, the people He chose for His                                   
inheritance." (Psalms 33:12)                                                   
                                                                               
We are grateful that You have blessed us a great                              
nation, may we continue to find Your favor.  May                               
we continue to look to You and Your word for the                               
moral compass to guide our families and children.                              
                                                                               
We pray for President Clinton, give him wisdom as                             
he leads.  For our congress, may they work together                            
for the good of all Americans.  Guide Governor                                 
Hickel as he directs the affairs of this state.  Bless                         
and give our State Senators unity and collective                               
purpose.  May they be able to accomplish                                       
meaningful work in these days.
