                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of all the worlds that are, redeemer of humanity, govern our 
Nation and world. Lord, may the dawning of Rosh Hashanah provide all 
people who believe in You with opportunities to review past mistakes 
and to resolve to make improvements in the days to come.
  In these tumultuous times, lead our lawmakers. Help them not to 
second-guess the destinations to which You may take us but to focus on 
doing what is right. Keep them from being reluctant to make courageous 
decisions that may take them through valleys before they see the 
mountain peaks. May our Senators seek to do what pleases You, their 
most important constituent, and to work faithfully to do what is best 
for America.
  You are our Lord and Savior. Amen.
