                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Merciful God, who surrendered Your powers to serve humanity, thank 
You for Your model of sacrifice that reminds us that it is better to 
give than to receive. Forgive us when our preoccupation with selfish 
dreams keeps us from surrendering to Your will. Help us to live so that 
we give You our best and keep us from those roads that lead to ruin. We 
pray for those in our world who must deal with the insanity of 
terrorism. Give them courage to meet these challenges.
  Guide Your Senators today. Make nothing deter them from doing Your 
will. Give them faith to meet each crisis and wisdom for each decision. 
Help each of us to give ourselves completely to You, and give us peace 
through Him who is the Prince of Peace.
  Amen.
