  The Chaplain, ADM Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  O God of peace, end the civil war that rages in our hearts.
  Fill our God-shaped void with Your presence and bid our striving to 
cease.
  Thank You for Your steadfast love and Your redemptive presence among 
us.
  Remind us that each day we make decisions for which we are 
accountable to You.
  Give us wisdom and courage to burn life's brief candle, always aware 
of Your saving presence.
  Use our Senators today as instruments of Your peace.
  We pray this in Your strong name. Amen.
