                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  For the beauty of the Earth, robed in the garb of providential love, 
we raise our morning hymn of praise.
  Today, give our Senators vivid vision to know Your will and to follow 
Your leading. Lord, inspire them to engage in selfless service with 
courage and compassion, fulfilling their call to be instruments of Your 
glory. In these challenging times, drive them to their knees for the 
inner strength that will keep their faith from faltering when 
pressured. Provide them with the strengthening joys of Your spirit and 
the newness of life that only You can give.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
