                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  * * * For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are 
ordained of God.--Romans 13:1.
  Almighty God, sovereign Lord of history and the nations, we have no 
adequate language to express our respect and gratitude for the men and 
women whom Thou hast ordained for leadership. Thank You for their hard 
work, long hours, and faithful service, despite continual criticism and 
cynicism.
  Gracious Father in Heaven, we pray for the Senators and their 
families. Grant them safety in travel, energy for their involvement in 
the election, relaxed time with spouse and children, rest and 
recreation, and restoration for themselves. Keep them in Thy love and 
grace, and may Thy blessing be constantly with them.
  We pray in the name of Him who is love incarnate. Amen.
