                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:

  The Lord your God in your midst, the mighty One, will save; He will 
rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you in His love, He will 
rejoice over you with singing.--Zephaniah 3:17.
  Lord, we begin this new week with this promise from Zephaniah. It 
sounds in our souls and gives us courage. We claim that You are in our 
midst. Fill this Senate Chamber with Your glory. May we humbly trust 
You as the only sovereign Lord of our lives and of America.
  Because Your strength is limitless, our inner wells need never be 
empty. Your strength is artesian, constantly surging up to give us 
exactly what we need in every moment. You give us supernatural thinking 
power beyond our IQ, You provide emotional equipoise when we are under 
pressure, You engender resoluteness in our wills and vision for our 
leadership, and You energize our bodies with physical resiliency.
  Lord, quiet our turbulent hearts with Your unqualified, indefatigable 
love. Give us profound confidence, security, and peace. We have 
absolute trust in Your faithfulness and we commit ourselves to You 
anew. Tune our hearts to the frequency of Your inner voice. Give us the 
clarity we need to lead our Nation. In Your never-failing power, we 
humbly pray. Amen.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The able Senator from Michigan is 
recognized.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I note the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
