                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father in Heaven, we take time to acknowledge Your presence here with 
us right now. We humbly come to You in prayer, believing that You alone 
are the one and only true God, sovereign, and almighty. Forgive us our 
shortcomings and disobediences, and honor our faith and sincere efforts 
to serve You.
  We pray for each Senator that the Holy Spirit would give them wisdom 
and guidance to make right decisions for every issue that is presented 
in this session.
  Father, we affirm that our Nation belongs to You; therefore, we as a 
people also yield ourselves to You, to Your will, so that we can bring 
glory and honor to Your kingdom. Thank You for Your daily mercies and 
grace upon each of us.
  In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
