                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's opening prayer will be offered by our 
guest Chaplain, the Reverend Lisa Schultz, Church of the Advent, 
Washington, DC.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our hope for the years to come, we praise You that You 
have rescued our Nation throughout its history. Through dangers, toils, 
and snares, You have sustained this land we love. Through wars, 
drought, and pestilent, You have been a fortress for our faith.
  Lord, when all seemed hopeless, You have continued to be an unfailing 
bulwark. Continue to inspire our Senators with manifestations of Your 
wonderful love and power. Provide our lawmakers with the confidence to 
believe that You have not brought us safely this far to leave us.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
