                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign Lord, who fills our hearts with songs of thanksgiving, each 
day we lift our hands in prayer to You, for You are always merciful. 
Thank You for blessing us each day.
  You have rescued us from dangers and kept our feet from slipping. You 
banish our worries and calm our fears. Thank You for Your eagerness to 
forgive us and for Your unfailing love. You alone are God.
  Today, strengthen the Members of this body. Help them to trust You 
without wavering. Teach them Your ways, that they may live according to 
Your truth. Give them purity of heart, that they may honor You. Use our 
Senators as instruments of peace on Earth. We pray in Your great and 
Holy Name. Amen.
