                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Fountain of life and source of all goodness, You make all things and 
fill them with Your blessings. You created us to rejoice in the 
splendor of Your radiance.
  Help our Senators today to nurture the inner light of Your presence 
in their lives. Enable them to hear Your still small voice calling them 
to embrace Your wisdom and to follow Your leadership.
  Lord, we commend to You former Senator Ted Stevens. We thank You for 
his life and legacy and acknowledge that we are diminished by his 
sudden and unexpected death. We are grateful for his wisdom, 
dedication, patriotism, courage, and service. Comfort his family and 
all who mourn.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
