                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, Who directs the paths of all who love You, in this 
season of peace on Earth, we thank You for Your Word and for the 
eternal truths that guide us day by day. Thank You, Lord, for another 
day with opportunities to make a difference in Your world. Thank You 
also for the sureness of Your presence that brings us peace in the 
midst of this world's turmoil. Lord, teach us to turn to You so that 
Your thoughts can become our thoughts and Your ways our ways. Be for 
our Senators a refuge and a fortress and may they put their trust in 
You. Help each of us to depend upon Your strength as we navigate life's 
challenging seas. May we trust the wonderful laws of sowing and 
reaping, knowing You will bring us an abundant harvest. We pray this in 
Your great Name. Amen.NOTICE
