U.S. Senate Chaplain Richard Halverson (approx. $115,000 annual salary) delivered the following prayer to open a session of that body:

We pray for O.J. Simpson. Whether he is innocent or guilty rests with our system of justice. Whatever the circumstances, he has got to be hurting deeply. As the wheels of justice slowly grind, he may be comforted by the sense of the presence of the God who loves him.
