                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Oh holy God of love, You have made us secure in Your love. Thank You 
that our right standing with You is based on what You have done and not 
on our feeble efforts. Set Your stronghold of protection firm against 
the foes of this land we love, as You use our lawmakers to fulfill Your 
purposes. Lord, in the midst of distracting problems, give our Senators 
a vision of what America can become. Make this a nation of justice and 
plenty where vice shall cease to fester. Prepare us for the role 
committed to our fallible hands so that our lives will glorify You. We 
pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
