                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our refuge and strength, we seek for peace and unity but 
live with strife and division. We make agreements but suspect that we 
haven't agreed. We flex the muscles of our might to reassure ourselves 
and caution aggressors. Yet we feel anxiety. Lord, show us the way.
  Keep our Senators from presuming that You are automatically on their 
side. Instead, let them earnestly seek to be on Your side. Enable them 
to find unity with each other because of their connection with You. 
Keep them sensitive to see You at work in our world with Your 
intervening love.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
