                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer.
  Let us pray.
  O God, who rides the wings of the wind, You are powerful yet patient. 
You show Your mercy to those who trust You. The clouds are only dust 
beneath Your feet and Your voice can be heard in life's storms.
  Help America to hear You speaking in the storms that challenge our 
land. Make us a nation true to our best beliefs. Lead Your Senators 
today, along fresh paths of understanding. May they receive insights 
that will solve the problems that impede our national progress. Heal 
our world.
  O God, our King, You have won victories everywhere on this Earth. We 
look to You today to direct and keep us. Lead us this week in an 
awareness of being Your children as You teach us to do Your will.
  We pray this in Your holy Name. Amen.
