                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. Eternal Spirit, who brings a rich harvest with Your 
footsteps, mountains melt in Your presence. You are robed with honor 
and majesty. We praise Your name and celebrate Your goodness. Remind us 
that without Your help, there is no national security. May we focus 
less on what we can accomplish and more on Your unstoppable providence. 
Send Your peace into the hearts of our Senators. Take away distracting 
worries and fill them with faith. Cleanse them from any bitter or 
unforgiving spirit as You give them contentment in serving You and this 
great Nation. Inspire them with the courage to work to build a world 
without dividing walls. We pray in Your holy name. Amen.
