                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  May we pray together.
  Eternal God, Creator of the universe, the Source of life, order, and 
truth, we bow in reverence in Your presence. We thank You for divine 
favor and all the values and principles that continue to shape our 
national character and challenge us to greatness.
  We pray for our Nation, our President, his family, Cabinet, and 
advisors. Grant wisdom and courage to the Senators as they fulfill 
their responsibility to our great Nation. Empower all who shoulder the 
responsibility of leadership and servanthood. May our duties become 
delightful because of Your gifts of joy, faith, and hope.
  Lord, we are grateful for the privilege of working together with You 
for peace and justice for all people. We affirm with our Founding 
Fathers and Mothers that we are one Nation under God, with a common 
goal of liberty and justice for all. Amen.
