                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's opening prayer will be offered by 
Giani Sukhvinder Singh, of Gurdwara Philadelphia Sikh Society, Upper 
Darby, PA.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  ``One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru.''
  Almighty God, we call You by many names, but You are one. Keep Your 
Divine Hand over the Members of this Senate as they help steer the 
future of our great Nation. Keep truth on our tongues, love in our 
hearts, and sound judgment in our minds. Remind us of our purpose: to 
love and serve one another and create a more peaceful world.
  We ask for blessings unto all leaders as they work for the common 
good. Give all who govern this land humility and courage, integrity, 
and compassion. Release each one of us from ego so that we may serve 
selflessly. Help us remember that we belong to one family.
  ``Recognize the entire human race as one.''
  We ask of the Almighty to also keep watch over our Nation's 
protectors who work tirelessly, day and night, to ensure our safety and 
our freedom.
  You are everywhere; all are Yours. Whatever is seen, O God, is Your 
form. My Lord, You are but one. We ask You to bless this great Nation 
and its people.
  ``In the name of Nanak, find everlasting optimism. With Your will, 
Almighty God, may there be welfare of all of humanity.''
  Amen.
