Opening Prayer for Congress

Eternal Lord, who embraces the diversity of our many different faiths, we gather in this chamber seeking Your wisdom and guidance. Grant us the grace of open-mindedness as stewards under one monotheistic God, fostering unity and peace. Lead our hearts towards decisions that shape a future wrought with unity and harmony. In Your holy name, we find shared commitment and purpose. Amen.

Dear Lord, we stand in this chamber today, pleading for Your divine peace even in the midst of our divergent views and intense debates. Imbue the hearts within congress with Your perfect peace; infuse our words with respect and understanding, shaping a unity beyond partisan lines. As we strive to serve the nation, may each step we take be guided by Your wisdom. We ask not for uniformity, Lord, but for harmony in diversity that echoes our shared commitment to the people whom we represent. God bless this congress, send us tranquility amidst disagreement and discordance. In You only lies our true peace and strength. Amen.
