                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, You alone deserve all our praise because of Your love and 
faithfulness. Inspire our Senators to trust You to help protect and 
guide them. May they learn and depend upon Your promises, believing 
that Your blessings will keep America strong. Reveal to them Your 
priorities and plans so that they will stay within the circle of Your 
will. Lord, make them agents of Your visible impact on our Nation and 
world as You guard their hearts and minds with Your peace.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
