  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Today's prayer will be offered by our 
guest Chaplain, Dr. Richard Foth, Falls Church, VA.
  We are pleased to have you with us.
  The guest Chaplain, Dr. Richard Foth, offered the following prayer:
  We come today, heavenly Father, with thanksgiving for Your many gifts 
to us. We are unworthy of the blessings that this Nation enjoys, but we 
are grateful for the privilege of living in a free land.
  As the Senate comes to the close of its deliberations for this year, 
may wisdom and foresight prevail. Between the pressure to wrap up 
business and the compromises necessary to make that happen, help the 
men and women of this body determine to take the long view.
  In a place where pressing for votes and pleading for causes each day 
is the stock-in-trade, let there be a baptism of clear seeing this 
week. Where great clouds of dust have been raised over critical issues, 
may the wind of Your Spirit bring new insights. Where significant needs 
may have been lost in the legitimate but lengthy parliamentary debate, 
help common ground to be found.
  Thank You, Lord, for these gifted public servants, and thank You in 
advance for the fresh oil of Your grace which they need in these 
closing hours of their work. May our Nation, our people, and the world 
be better for it.
  In that Name above every name we pray. Amen.
