                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Lisa Wink Schultz, Office of the Senate Chaplain, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within us, bless Your holy 
name. For You alone are holy and all who live and breathe find their 
purpose in You.
  Let the light of Your glory illuminate the paths we take today, that

our feet will not go astray from Your purpose. Send Your light into the 
shadows of our lives, that we would turn from the darkness of our ill 
intent and choose the righteousness of Your grace plan.
  Let the depth of Your mercy seep into our souls, that we would be 
transformed by Your love. In Your compassion, may we discover who You 
have called us to be and be inspired to want to live lives in response 
to Your steadfast loving-kindness.
  Let the peace found only in You rule in our hearts and dwell in us 
richly, that with gratitude we would strive to live in harmony with one 
another, giving thanks to You in the living of this day, doing so in 
Your most holy name.
  For it is in the strength of Your name we pray.
  Amen.
