                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and 
from whom no secrets are concealed, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts 
by the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love You 
and worthily magnify Your holy Name.
  Lord, look with mercy upon our Senators and use them to heal the 
brokenness in our land. May they use their talents to lead people to 
replace fear with faith, cynicism with courage, and division with 
unity. Keep them from the forces that impede them from doing Your will.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
