                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  * * * Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow 
of turning.--James 1:17.
  Let Your light shine on the Senate in these difficult, stressful 
hours.
  Illuminate the shadows and the darkness of compounding complications.
  Enable the leaders and Members to find their way out of blind alleys, 
blocked intersections, dead ends, and detours which go nowhere. When 
courage fails, resolution fades and intransigence builds, protect 
against little victories in which nobody wins and big defeats in which 
everybody loses.
  Sovereign Lord, make Your presence felt, and grant to the Senators 
hearts and minds receptive to Your will and way.
  In His name who is the light of the world. Amen.
