                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father in heaven, holy is Your name. I seek Your blessings on behalf 
of our Nation and its leaders. May our Senators draw near to You and 
experience Your unconditional love. May each seek Your divine guidance 
for the hard decisions they face today.
  Grant us all a holy desire to study scripture, pray, and seek Your 
plan for our lives. In Your unfolding mercy, strengthen marriages, 
sustain vital relationships, and grant peace to each and every home.
  God, bring a spiritual awakening across this land that every citizen 
of this great country would know Your love and mercy as it transforms 
their lives, heals their wounds, and creates hope in hungry hearts.
  I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Lord. Amen.
