                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Alan Keiran, Office of the Senate Chaplain, Washington, 
DC, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God Almighty, as the Psalmist says, ``Your unfailing love, O 
Lord, is as vast as the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches beyond the 
clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Your justice 
like the ocean depths.''
  Lord God, I pray You will reward the faithfulness of all who honor 
Your name and seek to bring You glory. Make known Your plans to prosper 
them; plans not to harm them but to give them hope and a bright future. 
Inspire our elected leaders to seek Your presence and pray daily for 
Your wisdom. Let them clearly discern Your still small voice amidst the 
constant clamor of their busy lives.
  In the long legislative days ahead, may they feel Your favor as they 
faithfully discharge the duties assigned to them. Give them the 
strength to persevere in the storms of life and the humility to honor 
You when victories burst forth like a radiant dawn. I pray in Your 
mighty Name. Amen.
