                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of time and eternity, use our lawmakers today as instruments of 
Your will. Give them the wisdom to turn from every thought, word, and 
deed that weakens instead of strengthens. Lord, help them to desire to 
be people of integrity, individually and corporately. May this be a day 
when our Senators serve You with gladness because Your joy has filled 
their hearts.
  Lord, all nations are Yours. Help us to trust You to rule our world.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
