                                 prayer

  The Reverend Ralph E. McCormack, pastor of Burton Memorial 
Presbyterian Church, Danville, VA, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Gracious God, we invoke Thy presence with us here in this place.
  We pray for these U.S. Senators. We pray that they may have wisdom in 
their deliberations. We pray that their decisions will continue to keep 
our Nation strong and safe for all people.
  We pray for all of us here and for our families. If there is 
sickness, we pray for better health. If there is unhappiness, we pray 
for reasons for joy. If in our families, there is ill feeling, we pray 
for peace and harmony. If in our families there is any problem or any 
cause for worry, we pray for a good resolution of the difficulty.
  Help us to honor Thee with our lips and with our lives. Amen.
