                                 prayer

  For I know the plans that I think toward you, saith the Lord, plans 
of peace, and not of evil.--Jeremiah 29:11.
  Sovereign Lord, You have made it clear in Your Word that You know 
each of us in the totality of our lives. You love us and You have a 
perfect plan for us. As the Senate goes back to work, it faces an 
uncommon challenge--a universal health plan, welfare reform, and the 
growing threat of violence and crime. As debate ensues, with election 
day drawing closer and closer, the tendency is that more heat than 
light is generated.
  God of all wisdom, in this milieu of pressure, help the Senators and 
their staffs realize that a God of perfect love is interested in their 
activity. He is ready to guide them in the perfection of His will to 
the best possible resolution to every issue.
  Gracious God, lead the Senate in Your perfect way and help them 
accept that leadership.
  In His name who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Amen.
