                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Today's prayer will be offered by Pastor 
Leroy Gilbert of Mount Gilead Baptist Church in Washington, DC.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our God, restorer of the joy of those who find You. Lord, we 
praise Your Holy Name. Thank You for giving us lifetime favor and for 
Your unchanging faithfulness. Lord, You cloth us with gladness.
  Today, we pray for our Senators. Shine Your light of wisdom on them 
and be gracious to them. Remove from them contention and strife, as You 
infuse them with humility. Lord, keep Your arms of protection around 
them and their loved ones in these most challenging times.
  Rule in the midst of Your world, until the kingdom of Earth will 
acknowledge Your sovereignty.
  We pray in Your great, marvelous Name. Amen.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Thank you, pastor.
