                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of the people's House as they work toward the 
difficult and complicated task of funding our government in a fair and 
equitable manner. May they negotiate with one another in good faith and 
trust in a shared love for our Nation.
  Bless our Nation and its citizens as we approach the end of 2015. 
Help us to look to the future with hope, and committed to a renewed 
effort to work together for a united America.
  Help us all to be truly grateful for the blessings of this past year.
  And, as always, we pray that all that is done this day be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
