                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of life, high above all, yet in all, the challenges of our world 
are great and our hands are small. The mystery of life is deep, and our 
faith falters. The temptations of life are intense, and our wills are 
feeble.
  Lord, guide our steps. Shower Your Senators with enduring blessings. 
As they deal with the swirling winds of change, be their ever present 
help. Give them patience to trust the unfolding of Your loving 
providence. Give each of us the wisdom to refuse to deviate from the 
path of integrity.
  Lord, today we ask for You to comfort the grieving families of the 
Alaskan Boy Scouts.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
