                                 prayer

  The guest chaplain, the Reverend Barbara D. Henry, of the Episcopal 
Diocese of Washington, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almightly and everlasting God, Creator of the universe with all its 
marvelous order and complexity; You have made us in Your image and 
given us dominion over all the Earth. Give us reverence for all Your 
creation--for the Earth which supports us, for all the myriad forms of 
life which inhabit this planet, and especially for the wonderful 
diversity of people and cultures in this world.
  Give to all those who hold authority in this land, we pray, an 
awareness of the many blessings You have bestowed upon them. May our 
Senators be blessed, in all their deliberations, with ever new insight 
into Your purposes for the human race, and with wisdom and 
determination in making provisions for the future of our Nation. Direct 
and guide them in their words, which are heard by so many, and in their 
decisions, which will affect so many.
  For You, O God, are the source of all wisdom, all power, all grace, 
and we give You glory for ever and ever. Amen.
