                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, whom to know is life eternal, speak Your transforming 
words to us. Speak words of encouragement to lift us from pessimism. 
Speak words of strength to prepare us for temptation. Speak words of 
warning to keep us from evil. Speak words of comfort to heal our hurts. 
Speak words of guidance to lead us on the right path.
  Speak words of power to our Senators today to equip them to meet 
challenges and to lift burdens. Remove from us everything that prevents 
us from hearing Your voice.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
