                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer.
  Let us pray.
  Be exalted, God of peace and love above the heavens. Let Your glory 
fill the Earth, for You are holy.
  Thank You for the gift of today, for borrowed heartbeats. Give us 
pure hearts, so we may see you clearly. With the eyes of faith, empower 
us to accomplish Your purposes.
  Make us bold in our striving to help the lost, the lonely, and the 
least. Inspire our Senators as they labor for liberty. Keep their feet 
on the right path. Give them the courage to refuse to deviate from 
integrity and the determination to do Your will.
  Remind us that You will never leave us even when we walk through the 
valley of the shadow of death. Take from us the worries which distract 
us and give us more trust.
  We pray in Your holy Name.
  Amen.
