  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The visiting Chaplain today, Chaplain Willliam

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, we acknowledge Your presence and seek an outpouring 
of Your Spirit on our Senators as they deliberate laws and policy that 
will enable us to be a great nation. O Lord, we ask that You open their 
hearts to You, strengthen their minds for the work at hand, enkindle 
within them a deeper desire to build upon the legacies of the Senate, 
and give them zeal and a breath of wisdom to improve the quality and 
dignity of life for all. May their labors this day bear fruit, may 
their families experience Your peace, and may their work accomplish 
Your will for our Nation and the world communities.
  We ask this and all things in Your holy and divine Name. Amen.
