                                 PRAYER

  The guest Chaplain, Dr. George S. Dillard III, pastor of Peachtree 
City Christian Church of Peachtree City, GA, offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father, You are the maker of us all. You are sovereign over every 
nation. You are the giver of wisdom, and Your wisdom teaches all of us 
and most certainly our leaders in this Senate, whom I lead in prayer 
today.
  I ask You to help them to heed Your wisdom which teaches all of us to 
be humble, to help them seek humility, to be honest with themselves 
first, then each other and then us, to be just and seek justice for 
all. Teach them to hunger and thirst for righteousness and not self-
righteousness, to embrace repentance when they fall. Most of all, teach 
them to walk in integrity and not to fear accountability and most of 
all to seek unity and not position. Have mercy on us. Give us grace. 
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth, in this Nation, and in 
this Senate, as it is in Heaven.
  Through Jesus, I lift this prayer to You, O God.
  Amen.
