                                 prayer

  The visiting chaplain, Rev. Bill Jeschke, The Kings Chapel, Vienna, 
VA, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our strength and our redeemer, please give these, Your 
servants, the wisdom to know right and the grace to do it. Apart from 
You, we can do nothing; but by Your empowerment, we can do all things.
  Give them strength for this great adventure, the sober service of 
directing this Senate into Your paths and ways. Help them to be 
fountains of blessing to our dear people and Your beloved world.
  We pray that they will be committed to their sacred duty, and trust 
that through them You will accomplish Your wise purposes for our 
country.
  We pray this in Your wonderful Name.
  Amen.
