                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of our going out and coming in, give us Your wisdom to know what 
we should do.
  Deliver us from the cowardice that runs from the truth.
  Deliver us from the lethargy that will not learn the truth.
  Deliver us from the prejudice that will not see the truth.
  Deliver us from the stubbornness that will not accept the truth.
  Deliver us from the pride that will not speak the truth.
  Strengthen our Senators today to do Your will. Give them the courage 
to make bold ventures for Your glory. We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
