                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Thou Giver of every good and perfect gift, satisfy the hungers of 
our hearts, minds, and souls. Make us to lie down in green pastures and 
restore our souls. Lead us in the paths of righteousness that we may 
live with integrity.
  Guide our Senators. Grant them the courage to give themselves to the 
discipline of introspection that enables them to hear Your voice. 
Awaken them to the fact that truth is more than theory but commands a 
commitment. Help them to discipline themselves to follow the truth 
wherever it leads. Motivate them by the magnitude of the 
responsibilities You have entrusted to them.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
