                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, you inhabit ages and all worlds. Dwell among our 
Senators today. Tune their hearts to Your purposes and open their lips 
to speak Your wisdom. Lord, infuse them with Your spirit so that their 
work will make a positive impact on our Nation and world. Banish their 
anxieties, as You provide them with a faith strong enough to face 
whatever challenges they must confront. Lord, give them openness of 
mind in order that they might perceive Your will more clearly; openness 
of heart, that they might love You more profoundly; and openness of 
hand, that they might serve You more devotedly.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
