                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Dr. Winford L. Hendrix, offered the following 
prayer:
  May we pray together, please.
  On behalf of this assembly, Lord, thank You for another week of their 
service in Your kingdom and for our beloved country. And today we pray 
that You will grant the kind of understanding which will enable this 
Senate to see beneath the surface and identify the implications, 
consequences, and benefits of the decisions they shall make. May each 
Senator sense Your divine leadership in determining what is well 
founded, fair, and equitable; indeed, what is for the good of all the 
citizens of this great land. And I pray that You may reward all who 
respond to Your divine prompting with an inner sense of peace and 
fulfillment. In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.
