                                 PRAYER

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and everlasting God, who guides the stars and hold our 
hearts, I humbly seek Your divine presence as the Senate gathers in 
solemn duty.
  God, guide the Senators of this great Nation, the United States. I 
pray for Your wisdom to light their path, courage to uphold the truth, 
and compassion to serve with integrity. May the Senators be stewards of 
peace, fostering unity where there is division and bringing hope to the 
places dimmed by despair. Grant our Senators the vision to see beyond 
the immediate to the future, where justice and liberty flourish for 
all.
  God, bless their deliberations. May their decisions forge a stronger, 
more inclusive society, where every voice is heard, every life is 
valued, and every action is measured by its benefit to the common good.
  Holy One, help us walk together in peace, live together in justice, 
and stand together in unity.
  God bless America. Amen.
