                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, ADM Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Eternal God, Lord of creation, everything around us points to You. We 
thank You that even nature reminds us of Your goodness and compels us 
to stand in awe of Your majesty. We thank You for pleasant reminders 
that this Senate is a family, and that we have many things to unite us. 
Teach us to trust You to use us as Your instruments in this challenging 
world. As Senators labor today, may their faithfulness, commitment, and 
integrity blend with the music of the spheres to serve Your perfect 
will. Give them insight and wisdom that they may discern the difference 
between the temporary and the eternal. We pray this in Your Holy Name. 
Amen.
