Sheldon Whitehouse, a Senator from the State of Rhode Island.
                                 ______
                                 


                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, prepare our hearts for the great things You would do within 
and among us today. Remind us that right conduct exalts a nation, but 
sin destroys any people. Give us a desire to do Your will, to fulfill 
Your purposes, and to honor Your Name.
  Today, lead our Senators in the path of Your purposes. Remind them 
that no problem they face is too big for You and no detail too small 
for Your attention. Help them to be wise stewards of Your resources, as 
they seek to remain mindful of Your presence and receptive to Your 
power. Give them the same respect and tolerance for the ideas and 
beliefs of others as they would wish for themselves.
  We pray in the Name of our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
