                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own 
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy 
paths.--Proverbs 3:5, 6.
  Mighty God who knoweth all things, Thou knowest the future of the 
104th Congress in microscopic detail. Infuse the minds and hearts of 
the Senators with the reality that You have a perfect plan for the days 
that lie ahead. Help them to take this seriously, that they may walk 
and work in the light of God's direction. Grant them grace to follow 
the wisdom of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, that they may 
trust in the Lord with all their heart, that they may acknowledge Him 
in all their ways, and be guided through the milieu of legislation with 
all its difficulties, its pressures, its conflicts. Give them the 
confidence in God which guided our Founding Fathers through all the 
complications of revolution and the establishment of a new nation.
  Thy will be done in this place as it is in Heaven.
  In the name of Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Amen.
