                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious Savior, lead our lives so we will bring You pleasure, 
receiving the smile of Heaven's approval.
  Guide our Senators, inspiring them to do justly, to love mercy, and 
to embrace humility as they walk with You. Lord, strengthen them, 
making them eager to lift burdens and to respond to human needs. In 
Your unfailing love, give them the wisdom to follow the leading of Your 
powerful providence. Do for them immeasurably, abundantly, above all 
that they can ask or imagine.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
