                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You are the way, the truth, and the life. Shine Your 
light upon our Senators' pathway, keeping them from straying from Your 
will. Lord, keep them from sluggish thinking or ambiguous expression or 
coldness of heart or weakness of will. As they experience Your 
constancy, enable them to see Your higher wisdom, which is a lamp for 
their feet and a light for their path. Continue to guide them until 
they see You more clearly, follow You more nearly, and love You more 
dearly each day.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
