Does anyone know who wrote this (Bush Prayer speech)

[jdj]

This is the speech W. gave on Nat'l Day of Prayer:

Is there anyway of finding out who wrote it for him?

"Today, in our nation's capital and around the country, we pause
to acknowledge our reliance on Almighty God, to join in gratitude for
His blessings, and to seek His guidance in our lives and for our
nation. ...
A prayerful spirit has always been a central part of our national
tradition, and it remains a vital part of our national character.
Americans of every faith and every tradition turn daily to God in
reverence and humility. We bring our cares to Him, knowing He is our
help in ages past, our hope for years to come. It was Lincoln who
called Americans 'the almost chosen people.' ...
Americans do not presume to equate God's purpose with any purpose
of our own. God's will is greater than any man or any nation built by
men. He works His will. He finds his children within every culture and
every tribe. And while every human enterprise must end, His kingdom
will have no end.
Our part, our calling is to align our hearts and action with God's
plan, in so far as we can know it. A humble heart is not an
indifferent heart. We cannot be neutral in the face of injustice or
cruelty or evil. God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He
is on the side of justice. And it is the deepest strength of America
that, from the hour of our founding, we have chosen justice as our
goal.
Our greatest failures as a nation have come when we lost sight of
that goal: in slavery, in segregation, and in every wrong that has
denied the value and dignity of life. Our finest moments have come
when we have faithfully served the cause of justice for our own
citizens, and for the people of other lands. And through our nation's
history, we have turned to prayer for wisdom to know the good, and for
the courage to do the good."
-- Pres. George W. Bush at yesterday's celebration of the National Day
of Prayer
