Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that today's                 
prayer be spread.  Without objection, it was so ordered.                       
                                                                               
Hear our prayer, O God, for this gathering of the                             
Senate.  Grant them the wisdom to create that                                  
which is essential for the common good and the                                 
wisdom to govern with justice and mercy so that                                
Your people may live in peace and harmony                                      
without fear or threat.  Open their hearts to provide                          
for the needs of those in our community who,                                   
through no fault of their own, are weak and                                    
vulnerable.  Let them not waste precious time in                               
pettiness and fruitless deliberation.  Endow them                              
with a vision of the future that will bless our                                
neighbors and proclaim Your glory.  In Your Holy                               
Name we pray.                               Amen.
