                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and everlasting God, the Author and Giver of all good 
things, nourish our Senators with Your goodness that they may produce 
the fruits of exemplary works that honor Your Name. Lead them by their 
setbacks and victories into a deeper knowledge of Your plans and 
purposes for this land we love. Give them light for their darkness and 
strength for every aspiration that seeks to glorify Your Name. May the 
knowledge of Your redeeming providence be a lamp illuminating the way 
ahead. Lord, strengthen them by Your spirit, using them as channels for 
Your coming kingdom. Make them positive people who are expectant of 
Your best for our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
