                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  * * * the powers that be are ordained of God.--Romans 13:1.
  Living Father, revive the Senate. Infuse it with new life. Dissolve 
the frustration, the disappointment, the disenchantment.
  Ignite the fire that burned in the Senators' hearts when first they 
convinced the people to send them here. Restore the faith, the sense of 
purpose, the enthusiasm, the dream, the vision.
  Mighty God, from whom comes all authority, the world waits for the 
Senate to be the powerful, intelligent, deliberative, legislative 
leaders so desperately needed today in the Nation and the world. Let it 
be true, dear Lord. Let it be true.
  In Jesus' name. Amen.
