                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, we pause today to lift our hearts 
to You. You are the God of hope who fills us with joy and peace. Thank 
You for the privilege of serving You as we labor for country.
  Today, inspire our Senators with Your presence. Renew their minds, 
stir their spirits, and warm their hearts. Give them wisdom so that 
they can alleviate the suffering of the multitudes. Open to us 
opportunities to touch the lives of others with the spirit of hope we 
find in You.
  Let our lips and lives sing Your praises for the kingdom, the power, 
and the glory belong to You. Amen.
