                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring 
it to pass.--Psalm 37:5.
  Sovereign Lord, the Senators return to an overwhelming agenda. Some 
legislation seems to resist consensus or agreement. In an election 
year, it is important that the Senators be free in August, not only for 
time with their families and personal rest and relaxation, but to be 
involved in political campaigns. We pray for a divine visitation upon 
this body that, in wisdom and power, it may complete legislation which 
is essential to the future of the Nation.
  God of wisdom and love, help Senators realize that they have a 
resource in God which is always available, at any time, in any 
circumstance. Help them to realize when the situation looks impossible 
that, ``With God, all things are possible.''
  We pray this in His name who is incarnate Truth and Love. Amen.
