                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, You have shown us that Your name and Your commands are 
supreme. You answer when we call and strengthen us for life's trials. 
The leaders of our world depend upon Your providence. Our Senators 
reach for Your wisdom. You sustain us and Your promises are certain.
  Lord, complete the work You have started in us. Each day, let more 
people see a clearer image of You in us. Keep us from deviating from 
the path of strict integrity, and help us to learn to count our many 
blessings. Free us from the chains of debilitating habits, as we 
rejoice in Your unfailing love.
  And, Lord, place Your armor upon our military men and women and never 
leave or forsake them.
  We pray this in Your holy name. Amen.
