                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God who transforms common days into transfiguring and 
redemptive moments, continue to guide our lawmakers with Your might.
  Lord, make our Senators brave enough for these momentous times as 
they seek to live worthy of Your great Name. May they not trust in 
their wisdom or power but rely on You to keep them secure. Guide them 
around life's pitfalls. Bring them through the darkness to a haven.
  Lord, cleanse the fountains of their hearts from that which defiles 
so that they may be fit vessels to be used for Your glory. Let Your 
peace be within them as Your Spirit inspires them to glorify Your Holy 
Name.
  Amen.
