                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Andrew Walton, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Clearwater, 
Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal presence known by many names and served through many 
traditions, as servants and sages have done for millennia, we all come 
to Your well of truth with leaking buckets.
  Our prayer today is for Your winds of wisdom, compassion, and love 
that blow throughout creation, to sweep through these Chambers of 
governance, crossing aisles and permeating ideologies of separation, 
inspiring those who work here toward conversations and decisions that 
yield peace, justice, and equity for the common good and dignity of all 
people.
  As so many in this city and around our country prepare for days of 
recess, rest, relaxation, and recreation, may we remember the 
multitudes of people who have no resources in their lives for 
recreation, relaxation, or rest. In remembering them, may we be moved 
with compassion for them and be inspired toward acts of peace, justice, 
and love for all people.
  Amen.
