                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  O God of field and forest, who made the hill and stream, thank You 
for creating in us a wonder for sky and brook and stone. Thank You for 
the glorious inspiration of the brilliant dawn and sunsets fading from 
blue to gold. Forgive us when we let our priorities compete with our 
loyalty to You. Open our minds to the counsel of eternal wisdom and 
breathe into our souls Your peace. Lord, increase our hunger and thirst 
for right living and lead us nearer to You. Bless our Senators. Help 
them to honor You both in spirit and deeds. We pray this in Your holy 
name. Amen.
