                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D. offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give 
you rest.--Matthew 11:28.
  Mighty God, everlasting Father, the Senate has been through 
intensive, difficult days. The nearness of election day, the commitment 
they have to their home State in participating in campaigns, the 
struggle with unfinished business are debilitating.
  Gracious Father in Heaven, grant to the Senators and their staffs a 
special visitation of Your love and grace. Help them make time for 
their families and to fulfill their responsibilities in the Senate and 
beyond the beltway. May Your peace and Your rest renew and strengthen 
them.
  In His name who promises rest for our souls. Amen.
