                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the following 
prayer:
  Blessed are those whose strength is in You, O God, whose hearts are 
set on a pilgrimage.
  Speak into the innermost chambers of our hearts, God, and into the 
heart of these Chambers. Bless our pilgrimage as we labor to preserve 
democracy, uphold liberty, and serve the American people faithfully. 
Grant us the insight of Your wisdom and the shield of Your truth and 
righteousness.
  Strengthen our resolve to serve responsibly in the courts of Your 
kingdom.
  Strengthen our will that our service to You will not falter.
  Strengthen our hearts that we will show forbearance to each other.
  Remind us then that our strength is found only in You, and may we go 
from strength to strength as Your people and as a country.
  We offer this prayer to You in Your strong and holy name.
  Amen.
