                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all 
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given.-- James 1:5.
  Almighty God, if ever leadership needed superhuman wisdom, they need 
it this year, facing as they are cosmic issues of health and welfare 
reform, crime and violence, plus the 1995 budget, in an election year 
when the Senate needs to adjourn in early October.
  Gracious Father, as You know the hearts and minds and circumstances 
of the Senators and their legislative staffs, grant to them Divine 
insight as they face this monumental agenda. Give each the humility to 
seek the wisdom of God and then function in the light of it.
  We pray in the name of Jesus who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 
Amen.
