                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign Lord, majestic Father of all creation, speak Your truth to 
us. Today may our Senators stop in the midst of busyness and listen for 
Your voice. Give them the discernment to hear You correctly. Grant them 
the courage to live out Your calling in their lives. Make these leaders 
work as one body to accomplish Your will. Give them wisdom in their 
tasks, confidence in the hearing of Your voice, and a love for You as 
well as each other.
  Remind us all of the truth that neither death nor life, nor height 
nor depth, nor any created thing can separate us from Your love.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
