                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Dr. Richard Foth, offered the following prayer:
  Shall we pray.
  We speak to You today, gracious God, as fall colors peak in 
Washington, DC, and election campaigns peak across the country. While 
both nature and Government anticipate new seasons, we recognize afresh 
that You hold nature to Yourself but allow us to govern ourselves. We 
embrace both processes with grateful hearts.
  We ask Your comfort for the pain and grief felt in so many homes on 
every continent this day. From Norfolk to Israel, from Belfast to 
equatorial Africa, wherever families weep their losses, we pray that 
You would wrap Your arms around the hurting and hold them with a grip 
like all eternity.
  In time of bounty as a nation, Lord, never let us forget that we are 
always needy in spirit. Thank You for calling us to love You with all 
our heart, all our soul, and all our strength, for it encourages us 
also to appreciate each other. May that ideal ring true across our 
great land and be nurtured among the very able and gifted men and women 
who represent us here.
  While we await the outcome of the Presidential campaign, help our 
Senators to steadfastly execute their responsibilities. May they find 
grace and peace in the midst of intensity generated by pressured 
agendas and races for Senate seats. Today in this Chamber may they be 
granted wisdom beyond their years and grace beyond their differences 
that through the intensity of debate and decision, the people will 
benefit.
  We ask these things in the Name above every name. Amen.
