This prayer was written by William Barclay, a Scottish minister and            
teacher, who died in 1978:                                                     
                                                                               
O God, our Father, there are no two of us here with                           
the same need. You know our needs. Bless us as                                 
each one of us needs. Specially bless those who are                            
in the middle of some specially difficult time: those                          
who have some specially difficult task to face; those                          
who have some specially difficult problem to solve;                            
those who have some specially difficult decision to                            
take; those who have some specially difficult                                  
temptation to resist; those who have some specially                            
baffling doubt through which to think their way.                               
                                                                               
Speak to those who are: evading some decision;                                
shirking some task; putting off some duty; playing                             
with fire; wasting their time; throwing away their                             
opportunities. Tell them that they dare not bring                              
shame to themselves and disappointment to those                                
who love them.

Speak to those who are successful, that they may be                           
kept from all pride and self-conceit; speak to those                           
who are too self-confident, that they may not be                               
riding for a fall; speak to those who are too sure                             
that they are right and too sure that everyone else                            
is wrong, that they may be kept from intolerance.                              
Help those who are shy. Remember those who are                                 
in disgrace and in prison, and keep them from                                  
despair.                                        Amen.                          
                                                                               
Senator Phillips led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
