                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  O Lord, You are good and Your love is eternal. From generation to 
generation, You have revealed Your faithfulness.
  As we pause to reflect on those who have gone before us, who have sat 
in this very Chamber, and spoken from the same rostrum, remind us again 
how Your provisions for us from year to year are never failing.
  As the Nation finds itself at odds over countless issues, overwhelmed 
by constant change, and struggling to find consensus over numerous 
concerns, remind us again that discord is not new and unrest is not 
foreign to the American experiment. Then reassure us that Your 
faithfulness endures throughout time.
  Cause us once again to remember that You call us to give You our 
whole heart, mind, and body, and to believe that our days past, 
present, and future are all in Your keeping. Then may we not be 
inclined to lean on our own understanding in these days or ever, but to 
trust only in You. For You, O Lord, are good, and Your love for us is 
eternal.
  In Your merciful name, we pray.
  Amen.
