Every good and perfect gift. You shower us with your mercies. Each day we are further aware of our unworthiness because of your goodness. All we like sheep have gone astray. Lord, we are prone to wander, to leave you, the god we love. As our senators work today, make them extensions of your power in our world. Use them as your eyes, ears, hands, and feet to accomplish your purposes. Lord, make them your ambassadors. May they arrange their priorities according to your will and view their challenges from an ethical perspective, striving to seek your will in all they think, say, and do. May they find in challenging moments opportunities to renew their faith in you. We pray in your merciful name. Amen. The president pro tempore please help me with the pledge of allegiance.
