His Grace (HG) Bishop David is the first Diocesan Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of New York and New England.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's opening prayer will be offered by His
Grace Bishop David of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate Diocese of New
York and New England from Chestnut Ridge, NY.
The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
Mr. President and honorable Members of the U.S. Senate, I humbly
offer the following prayer on your behalf. Please bow your heads in
acknowledgement of the presence of God in our midst.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, we thank You for this precious gift You have given to
each one of us: the opportunity to serve our brothers and sisters and
our beloved country. We realize that authorities that exist are
appointed by You.
We ask, Lord, that You grant us the wisdom, courage, and compassion
to serve honorably and to lift our neighbors and to be an instrument of
peace in all that we do.
Grant us, Lord, the humility to listen deeply and the strength to act
boldly. May our decisions be rooted in justice and our words be filled
with kindness, lifting up those who are weary and giving hope to those
in despair. As we serve, help us to see beyond ourselves, to seek what
is good for all, and to stand steadfast in Your truth and integrity,
trusting in Your light to guide our path.
Awaken in each one of us, Lord, a heart after Your own, so that our
actions may reflect Your love and mercy and inspire a spirit of unity
and sacrifice in every leader, every branch of government, and across
our country.
Accept, Lord, our prayers on behalf of ourselves but also on behalf
of all of Your people, Lord, who are in need of Your presence in their
lives, as we, too, are in need of Your presence in our lives and in our
service, so that we may be an example of collaboration and a source of
comfort to those who entrusted us with this sacred responsibility. They
put their trust in us, and we place our full trust in You, Lord, to
guide and support us so that each of us may play a part in securing
peace and prosperity for our country with our humble prayers for Your
guidance, for Yours is the glory and the power forever. Amen.
