We pause this morning to remember who You are.  You are the                    
source of all life, the beginning of all good things.  By Your power           
the sun and the moon and the stars and the planets, the seas and the           
winds all conform to a great symphony of motion that is both                   
wonderful and beautiful.                                                       
                                                                               
We pause to remember who we are.  We are Your children,                        
borrowing life from You for a few short years.  You have given                 
each one of us special talents so that we might contribute our voices          
to this beautiful symphony around us.                                          
                                                                               
I especially give You thanks, O God, for all those who contribute to           
the work of this Senate.  Today they will endeavor to make law.                
This is an awesome responsibility.  Grant wisdom and courage,                  
compassion and understanding as they engage in their work.  May                
they have iron determination to stand by those principles which they           
hold most dear.  May they be quick to listen to one another and                
cooperative in their work.  May all of their voices be heard so that           
this body does what is necessary, fair and right.
