                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord and King, You are forever. Send Your light and truth to guide 
our Senators. Give our lawmakers insights that will help them solve the 
riddles of our day. Empower them to possess discernment in order to 
know what is right. Imbue them with a passion for truth that will make 
them refuse to compromise principles.
  Strengthen them also with a humility that seeks to listen and learn. 
May they find joy in their work as they seek to please You. Remove from 
them discouragement and despair. Make them partners with You in 
building a world where truth and righteousness will reign.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
