                                 prayer

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. This morning's prayer will be given by guest 
Chaplain Rev. Sharron Dinnie, rector of St. Peter and St. Paul Anglican 
Church, Spring, South Africa.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy and gracious God, we rejoice in the life You have given us in 
this new day. As these Senators look to You in seeking to carry out 
that to which You have called them, we ask that You would guide and 
strengthen them. Keep them mindful of this country's heritage and help 
them strive to preserve its integrity. Lead them as they seek to 
discern that which has outlived its usefulness and appropriateness 
within the changes of society and give them boldness to work toward 
changes that will lead to life and growth.
  Grant this Senate grace so to align its will with Yours, that through 
this body, Your vision and purpose for this Nation and for the world 
may be accomplished. Amen.
