                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal and Almighty God, You are the alpha and omega, the beginning 
and the ending. Keep us alert to the needs of our time. Give us enough 
humility to respect the opinions of others and enough wisdom to 
acknowledge our common humanity. Give this Senate a unity of mind and 
purpose and the realization that all things work together for good to 
those who love You. Bless our military men and women who stand as 
guardians of our freedoms. Lord, from the cradle to the grave, we need 
You. Guide and sustain us until the journey ends. We pray this in Your 
strong Name. Amen.
