                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Alan Keiran, Office of the Chaplain, United States 
Senate, offered the following prayer:
  Lord of the nations and King of all kings, You alone deserve our 
worship, You alone are the most high God. Heavenly Father, You ask us 
to trust in You with all our heart and lean not on our own 
understanding; and in all our ways to acknowledge You. And in so doing, 
You promise to make our paths straight. That is why we call on Your 
Mighty Name today, Lord God.
  Many are looking for straight paths but cannot find them. Grant them 
grace to seek and find Your path to a meaningful life. Show right paths 
to Your every Member of this body so they may skillfully and cheerfully 
labor for the good of all.
  May You, Lord, have mercy on those in harm's way and their families. 
Meet those in lonely places and comfort them with Your amazing grace.
  I pray in the Name that is above all names. Amen.
