THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you and good afternoon. To the President and the First Lady, to leaders in faith and in public life, to all our distinguished guests, it is an honor for Karen and me to be here with all of you at the White House as we mark one more National Day of Prayer. You know, for our family, prayer has always been an important part of our lives, just as it has for millions of Americans.
Karen and I will both attest that the sweetest words that we ever hear are when people will take a moment, walk up, and say, Im praying for you. And you know they mean it from their hearts and we hear it all of the time. We can attest firsthand, America is a nation of prayer.
The American people have long believed in the power of prayer, that the effective and fervent prayer of a righteous person availeth much, and that in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, were to present our request to God with the promise that the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.

So, thank you. And God bless you, and God bless America.
END
