  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's prayer will be offered by Alan Keiran, 
the Chaplain's chief of staff.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Most gracious God, the source of all light and wisdom, give to our 
lawmakers renewed powers to honor You in this national Chamber of 
deliberation. Help them to find a clear path through the tangled maze 
of these challenging times. Give them a consuming passion not for their 
own way but for Your holy will. Lord, empower our Senators to meet the 
stupendous dimensions of these epic days with courage and faith. Give 
them receptive minds to follow Your guidance each step of the way. We 
pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
