                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Majestic God, Sustainer of the universe, as storm clouds gather, we 
thank You that You are Sovereign, yet no one is too small for Your 
concern. Forgive us for failing to trust Your love and for our sometime 
reluctance to have faith in each other. Lord, increase our faith, and 
give us the wisdom to make more deposits in the bank of love. May we 
remember to consult You as we make decisions. Guide the Senate today. 
Lead it into a blessed future as our leaders depend on Your wisdom. 
Strengthen us with Your Spirit and lead us into the newness of life. We 
pray this in Your Holy Name. Amen.
