  Let us pray:
  Almighty Father, as Members of the Senate gather here this morning to 
conduct their legislative business we implore Your blessings upon them, 
their families, and their staffs. We beseech You to instill in them a 
faith that is unerring, a hope that is certain, a patience that is 
boundless, a courage that is unwavering, a love that is perfect, and a 
sensitivity and a knowledge that they may accomplish Your holy and true 
command. Amen.
