Ruling in the heavens. Keep our lawmakers faithful to you, as you use them to accomplish your purposes. May they hear the groans of the poor, the cries of the helpless, and the moans of the oppressed. Help our senators to cause justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Give them the wisdom to find in you a refuge in turbulent times, remembering that you will never abandon those who seek you. Grant them the greatness of being on your side doing your will on earth, even as it is done in heaven. We pray in your merciful name. Amen. The president pro tempore please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance to our flag. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Mr. Mcconnell mr. President . The presiding officer the majority leader. Mr. Mcconnell i ask the chair lay before the senate a message from the house of representatives
