                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  You are awesome, O God. We acknowledge Your sovereignty and might. 
Give our Senators a sense of Your nearness, as You nourish them with 
the reality of Your presence. Take their human and finite minds and 
illuminate them with the light of Your eternal wisdom. May their daily 
lives validate the faith of our Nation's Founders and all who have 
sacrificed for freedom. Teach them to think seriously about the 
blessings of liberty and help them to be grateful for this land of 
freedom.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
