                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's opening prayer will be offered by 
Pastor Sam Steele of Chapel by the Sea from South Padre Island, TX.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Good morning.
  Christ Jesus sent people out two by two.
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, as our Senators gather--two from each State--they break 
down barriers that divide, create an environment of honest dialogue, 
and bring about positive compromise so that there is unity in our 
diversity and so our Nation is steadfast in the foundation of the 
people, by the people, and for the people.
  Loving God, we lift up to You our brothers and sisters touched by the 
weather across our land. May we reach out our hands of love and help. 
Comfort those who suffer, and strengthen those who serve.
  Creator God, pour Your wisdom upon each Senator. Bless them with 
humility as they serve, and make us once again ``we the people.''
  In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.
