                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  While the House sits silent, please inspire with Your holy spirit 
those who are in negotiations to find solutions to the many challenges 
facing our Nation. Give them wisdom and insight to engage in their 
deliberations.
  Bless those throughout our Nation who are suffering from the 
pandemic, fires, hurricanes, and flooding.
  You are our refuge and strength. Increase our faith that we might not 
fear, though the Earth should change, though the waters roar and foam, 
though the winds swirl and destroy all in their paths. Please accompany 
us through it all.
  Lord, have mercy. May all that is done this day be for Your greater 
honor and glory.
  Amen.
