                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Today's opening prayer will be offered by 
Pastor Eddie Edmonds of Moler Avenue Church of the Brethren from 
Martinsburg, WV.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Creator God, we give You thanks and praise for the phenomenal country 
in which we live, move, and have our being. Our thanks also for the men 
and women You have called to serve in this government and specifically 
the Senate. Our prayer is that You will equip, empower, and encourage 
each individual Senator as they work to answer the call to serve the 
people of this great Nation. Their decisions impact the lives of not 
only those they serve but also people the world over. Help them to 
remember those who have little, need much, and are challenged each day 
of their lives. Give each Senator strength to make wise decisions and 
the courage to stand up in the face of adversity, doing the right 
thing, first time, every time, putting others first in each decision 
rendered. May Your peace fill the lives of each Senator and those they 
serve until You come again to claim Your Kingdom.
  We pray in the Most Holy Name of Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
