  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's opening prayer will be offered by Rev. 
Don Duncan, Senior Chaplain of Oklahoma Jail & Prison Ministries and 
Chaplain of the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father, as we pause to seek Your divine guidance, I pray for Your 
presence, wisdom, and divine protection to be bestowed upon these 
Senators, their families, their staffs, and all those who have 
committed their lives in service to our country. I pray Your guidance 
through eternal principles in all discussions and final decisions. I 
pray for that which is honorable both in Your sight and in the heart of 
each citizen. When a conclusion is reached, may peace abide throughout 
this Chamber and throughout this land.
  We pray this through the Name of Jesus. Amen.
