                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, we can't begin this day in the forward march of history 
without You. Without the power of Your providential leading, we are 
like ships without a sail. If You don't lead us, we are certain to 
stray from the right path.
  Renew our Senators with help and strength, infusing them with a 
spirit of self-sacrifice and service. Whatever may come with this day, 
O Lord, help them to live with joyful appreciation of Your guidance and 
love. When they face situations that leave them puzzled, show them what 
they should do.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
