                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Ever loving and eternal God, source of the light that never dims and 
of the love that never fails, help us to live in faithful expectation 
of Your triumph in our world. Fill us with hope that we will not become 
discouraged because of setbacks. Take away doubts that disturb us and 
worries that distract us. Empower our Senators to be instruments of 
Your purposes. Make them content to faithfully serve as they live in 
peace with others.
  Give each of us the peace that passes understanding.
  We pray in Your loving Name, Amen.
