                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, who has promised to supply all our needs, 
strengthen our Senators to honor Your Name. Give them ears open to hear 
Your word, minds ready to accept Your truth, wills ready to do Your 
commands, and hearts ready to respond to Your love.
  Give them also a sure and certain faith to believe Your promises and 
never to despair. Infuse them with a love that is ready to forgive, 
eager to help, and quick to share. Let no disappointment quench their 
commitment to serve You faithfully. Give them the right and true 
ambition to find their greatness in serving others. We pray in Your 
wonderful Name. Amen.
