                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the source of our highest joy, remind us that only 
in Your will can we find true peace and happiness. Change our hearts so 
that our actions will glorify Your name. Lord, bring us from behind our 
barricades of selfishness and teach us that it is more blessed to give 
than to receive. As Senators labor today, fill them with Your spirit so 
that they will seek to know and do the right thing. Save them from 
disunity and from decisions made solely in the name of politics. Give 
wisdom to their advisers, and throughout each day may each of us find 
moments to seek You in prayer. We pray this in Your strong name. Amen.
