  Let us pray.
  Infinite and merciful God, we magnify and exalt Your Name, for You 
are great and worthy of our praise. Your splendor, glory, and majesty 
inspire us. You bless us beyond imagination. Nothing is too challenging 
for You.
  Today, rule in the lives of our lawmakers. Empower them by Your 
powerful presence and instruct them by Your mighty words. Sustain their 
health as they seek to solve the problems of our time. Rescue and 
protect them from seen and unseen dangers. God, who is like You--
majestic in holiness, awesome in power, working wonders and miracles 
before us each day?
  We glorify Your Name. Amen.
