                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, we are disappearing dust without You.
  Draw near to us and enable us to find in Your presence our dignity 
and destiny. Give us the sovereign knowledge that we belong to You and 
have been created in Your image. Teach us to serve and love humanity.
  Today, keep our Senators safe as they labor for You and country. Make 
their tomorrow bright through the unfolding of Your powerful 
providence. Guide them through the darkest night as they meditate on 
Your precepts. Show us the path to life and make us glad as we walk 
with You.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
