Lord, as we

tackle today’s
order of
business,
grant us the
wisdom, the
courage
and the joy
of doing Your
will.

Give us the
faith to believe
that there is no
problem
we cannot solve if we just rely on Your wisdom
and Your sense of justice.

Give us the courage to admit our mistakes

and the fortitude to stand our ground when we are
right.
In our differences, may we be generous and humble
so we may work in harmony and be of one accord.
Amen.

God our Father,

You conquer the darkness
by the light of Your word.
Strengthen within our hearts
the faith You have given us.
Let not temptation ever quench the fire
that Your love has kindled within us.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus

Christ,
Your Son, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, our God, forever
and ever
Amen.

Dear Lord,

Who rules and guides the world with patience and

wisdom,
We ask You to restore and strengthen our faith
In the ultimate triumph of Your will,
Amidst all our doubts, misgivings and anxieties.

We thank Thee for Thy ever generous blessings,

Continue to guide us,
We beseech Thee, and remind us of Christ’s
teaching to all His children.

Finally, O Lord,
Give us the grace and the strength to do Thy will
here on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.

Lord,
We thank Thee for all the blessings You
had given us.

We thank You too for providing the

enlightenment
and guidance we needed to be effective
in our
daily task of serving the Senate.

We humbly seek Your understanding for

our faults,
our impatience, our bluntness and our
inefficiencies.
Help us realize that only through mutual
respect
and courtesy can we be strong and
credible as a body.

All these we ask through Jesus Christ

our Lord,
Amen.
