                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, the Giver and Lord of life, to You we lift our hearts 
and in You we put our trust. Keep us from doing less than our best. 
Show us your way and teach us Your path. Lead us to Your truth, Lord, 
and we will live with abundance.
  Today, give our Senators words that will bring light, hope, and 
peace. Let their speech be seasoned with a humility that seeks first to 
understand before it is understood. As they strive to be forces for 
good, give them the contentment that comes from an earnest desire to 
please You. Give all of us the power to rule our spirits, so that we 
may bring glory to Your Name. Amen.
