On Thursday, Members of Congress and leaders from across the globe will gather in Washington, D.C., to mark one of our finest traditions: the National Prayer Breakfast. This event is hosted annually on the first Thursday in February. More than 3,000 people typically gather for this international forum that allows individuals from various sectors--including political, business, and social--to build relationships and come together in faith, fellowship, and prayer. Personally, I look forward to the National Prayer Breakfast each year as a time when thousands around the world and right here at home can reflect on their faith, focus on the year ahead, and walk away from this remarkable event with a renewed sense of hope and faith. This nonpartisan event brings together so many unique individuals who will hear the stories of inspiration from faith-filled speakers. From the Book of First Chronicles, Scripture tells us to, ``Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.'' This is what we will be seeking at the National Prayer Breakfast. It is my hope that I will see many of my colleagues there this Thursday. ____________________
