                                 prayer

  The PRESIDING OFFICER offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Because of You, God most high, we have strength for today and bright 
hope for tomorrow. Your presence sustains us, even in the midst of 
storms. Because of You, O God, we face the future confident that You 
will guide us with the same love with which You sustained us in the 
past.
  Bless our Senators. May Your spirit be with them and may Your love 
follow them and their families this day and always.
  Today we also thank You for our pages and the good work they do. As 
their graduation date approaches, bless them with the satisfaction that 
comes from work well done.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
