[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 6] [Senate] [Page 8292] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] PRAYER The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following prayer: In this world where life contains what seems to be so much turmoil and tribulation we long for that tranquility that lives beside the still waters of peace, and yet we know that grace exists besides turbulence and healing exists besides pain. O gracious God, the creator of everyone, we laud and praise those who use their ability to bring peace and healing to our communities and to all the neighborhoods of our world. May Your spirit, O God, unite each person so we share our concerns and our hopes as one people with one creator. In Your name we pray. Amen. ____________________
