                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, You are our God. We earnestly search for You, the source of 
our hope and the center of our joy. Enable our Senators to gaze upon 
Your power and experience Your glory. Lord, encourage them with Your 
precepts that provide light for the dark road ahead. Answer their 
prayers and arm our lawmakers with Your might, giving them reverential 
awe that will keep them from evil. Strengthen them to be faithful 
during life's crises as well as the routine of daily duties. O God, we 
belong to You. Crown our years with the bountiful harvest that Your 
mercy provides.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
