                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  * * * he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.--Matthew 
23:11.
  Eternal God, Lord of Heaven and Earth, Ruler of the nations, in 
gratitude we pray for those who are the servants of the servants of the 
people.
  We pray for the Secretary of the Senate, Joe Stewart, and the 
Assistant Secretary, Jeri Thomson, all who labor in the Secretary's 
office and in the various departments which are under the Secretary's 
supervision. May Thy blessing rest upon them, their loved ones, and 
their friends.
  We pray for the Sergeant at Arms, Martha Pope, and the Deputy 
Sergeant at Arms, Bob Bean, all who serve in the Sergeant at Arms' 
office and in the various departments which are under the Sergeant at 
Arms' supervision. Encourage them in their labors and grant them Your 
grace for every situation.
  Be with any who have special need; assure them of our love and care; 
and direct them in all their ways--personal, family, and professional.
  Thank You, Lord, for faithful men and women who are strong support 
for the leaders of our Nation.
  In His name who lived to serve. Amen.
