                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, sovereign Lord of the universe, limitless, timeless, in 
whom resides all wisdom and power, remind our Senators today that they 
have nothing to fear about the future when they remember how You have 
led us in the past. Energize their memories to remember the dangers, 
toils, and snares over which You have brought our Nation and world so 
that Your peace will guard their hearts. Lord, may they never forget 
that the galaxies belong to You and the fullness thereof, the world, 
and they who dwell therein. Teach them the wisdom of seeking You so 
that they will fulfill Your purposes for their lives.
  We pray in the Name of Him who is the author and finisher of our 
faith. Amen.
