                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of wisdom who reigns forever, judging the nations with 
righteousness and Your people by Your truth, Your steadfast love 
endures forever and Your faithfulness to all generations. Thank You for 
the gift of this new day and for the opportunities to promote good will 
and understanding here at home and unto the ends of the Earth.
  Lord, forgive us when we have slept in the face of opportunity or 
refused to shoulder the responsibilities that come with the privileges 
of freedom. Today, deliver our Senators from any shortsighted policies 
and enable them to live up to their lofty vocation. May each of our 
lives ever glorify Your wonderful and holy Name. Amen.
