                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, the giver of life, teach us how to become our best selves. 
Activate us with noble impulses that will produce helpful speech and 
faithful actions. Lead us ever on the side of the gracious and good as 
we strive to be instruments of Your peace.
  Today, sustain our Senators through the challenges they face. Infuse 
them with the humility that will motivate them to serve. May their 
thoughts, words, and deeds be acceptable to You.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
