                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in 
heavenly places, we give reverence to Your holy name. Thank You for 
choosing us to labor for liberty during these challenging times. Lord, 
keep us from the temptations that would thwart our effectiveness as You 
deliver us from evil. Use our lawmakers to lift the burdens of the 
lost, last, lonely, and least, bringing deliverance to captives and 
permitting the oppressed to be unshackled. Dwell in the hearts of our 
Senators, enabling them to be rooted and grounded in Your love.
  We pray, in Your powerful Name. Amen.NOTICE
