US Army Chaplain (Capt) Rudy Stevens, currently assigned to Fort Bragg, was invited to deliver the invocation at the US House of Representatives in February.

“Lord, too often, we Americans back home forget to pray for our leaders here in D.C. Forgive us, Lord. For those assembled here in the people’s House, I pray that you give them courage, strength, and wisdom. Give them courage from our convictions, strength from your spirit, and wisdom for the future. For here decisions are made: choices that shape circumstances of years, if not generations, of all Americans.
 
“All the way from California to North Carolina that airborne chorus sounds off loud and strong with, ‘This land is my land, and this land is your land.’ And it is here in this room that chorus hits the ground and finds harmony, reminding us that from many, we are one, one nation under God that seeks liberty and justice for all, for all the fatherless and the oppressed.

“So, Lord, hear our prayer and keep these leaders wise, strong and courageous. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

According to the article, Chaplain Stevens will soon be deploying.
