                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, show favor to our land and bless us with Your grace. 
Transform us into people who look to You for guidance and seek to do 
Your will. Unite us to accomplish the things that honor You.
  Strengthen the Members of this body to serve You as You deserve. 
Empower them to give and not to count the cost, to strive and not to 
heed the wounds. Help them to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor 
and not to ask for any reward except of knowing they are doing Your 
will. May each Senator daily strive to walk blameless, speak the truth, 
and honor You.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
