                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our Sustainer, silence everything in our Senators that would 
keep them from hearing Your wisdom. Control their minds this day that 
their focus may concentrate on You. Illuminate their path with the 
light of Your presence, providing them with the strength to walk with 
integrity.
  Lord, give them a sense of duty that they will leave nothing that 
they ought to do undone. May they not be content to wait and see what 
will happen, but give them the wisdom and courage to make the right 
things happen.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
