Senate

  The Senate met at 9:30 a.m. and was called to order by the Honorable 
Johnny Isakson, a Senator from the State of Georgia.
  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Eternal and Almighty God, we have lived long enough to know that we 
cannot escape Your presence or Your love. Teach us Your way of 
salvation and show us the path that leads to a meaningful life.
  Today, use our lawmakers to accomplish Your will. Stretch their 
understanding so that they will have the right priorities. Give them a 
creativity to devise strategies which will make our Nation and world 
better. Enter their hearts and make them Your faithful servants. Equip 
them to relieve suffering and to serve sacrificially. Make their 
highest motivation be not to win over one another but to win with one 
another by doing Your will.
  We pray in Your awesome Name. Amen.
