Blessed are those, You have said, whose way is blameless, who walk in Your law. But too often, we are inclined to wander, prone to leave the God we say we love. Confident in our own sense of direction, lured by the appeal of immediate pleasure, our hearts turn from You. We become lost in the distractions of our own devising and lose sight of the blessings You provide. God, show us mercy. In our faithlessness, remind us that You are always faithful. Then may we turn our eyes back to You, seek You with our whole heart, and direct our lives in accordance with Your law. May we abide in Your righteous presence and respond to Your steadfast love in the living of these days. In Your sovereign name, we pray. Amen. ____________________" CREC-2026-10-15-pt1-PgH6043-4,2026-10-15,119,2,172,161,THE JOURNAL,HOUSE,HOUSE,HJOURNAL,H6043,H6043,,,172 Cong. Rec.

Even as we celebrate 251 years of the Navy's noble history, may each sailor who stands the watch today be assured of Your protection and strengthened in their resolve by the promise of Your sure defense. Wherever they find themselves this day, with the USS George W. Bush Carrier Strike Group or the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group in the Arabian Gulf, on the destroyers and support ships operating in the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean, God of all creation, watch over them. May both chart and compass guide them and Your hand lead them through the tempests and shoals they encounter. Then, as You have granted the USS Lincoln and all who have gone down to the sea in ships safe passage home to the waiting arms of family and friends, so may each of us anticipate the reward of Your embrace when we have faithfully served You in the days You have given us in this place, defending the freedoms You have bestowed on this country. In Your eternal name, we pray. Amen. ____________________" CREC-2026-10-13-pt1-PgH6039-4,2026-10-13,119,2,172,160,THE JOURNAL,HOUSE,HOUSE,HJOURNAL,H6039,H6039,,,172 Cong. Rec.
