                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God our saviour, You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome 
deeds. You formed the mountains with Your power and quieted the raging 
ocean.
  Today, bless us with the transforming impact of Your presence. May 
this walk with You strengthen us to live blameless lives that honor 
Your name.
  Bless our Senators. Give them the courage to speak the truth from 
sincere hearts. Keep their hearts in tune with You. Help them to labor 
to bring life and health where there is death and despair.
  Deliver us all from persistent sins and make us Your faithful 
followers. We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
