                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, heavenly Father, open our hearts to Your movement in 
our midst. As we trust Your providence and cling to Your promises, give 
us wisdom and spiritual eyes to see You at work.
  Keep our lawmakers from being intimidated by the challenges they 
face, as you protect them by ordering their steps. Clothe them with the 
armor of integrity, shield them with Your truth, and guide them with 
Your power. Help our Senators to please You by living blameless, holy, 
and peaceful lives. Lord, give them a hunger for Your words and a 
desire to apply Your knowledge in their daily walk. We pray in Your 
precious Name. Amen.
