                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, help us to follow Your commands so that we may 
experience abundant living. May our lawmakers' steps never stray from 
the path of integrity, nor waiver in following You. By Your mighty 
power, rescue our world from the challenges that overwhelm it. Protect 
those who love You as You would guard Your own eyes. Lord, hide us in 
the shadow of Your wings. Today, help our Senators to remember that 
their steps are directed by You. As You work for the good of those who 
love You, inspire them to stay within the circle of Your will. Give our 
legislators the reverential awe that brings life, prosperity, and 
protection.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
