                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Lord and Ruler, Your Name is wonderful. We see Your glory in the 
heavens above and in the beauties of the Earth. Give us this day our 
marching orders. We seek Your wisdom. Guide our priorities so that we 
glorify Your Name. May even our thoughts be acceptable to You. Help our 
words and actions to be strengthened by Your precepts. Give us enough 
humility to acknowledge our dependence on You, for even our heartbeats 
are borrowed.
  Strengthen our Senators for today's journey. Listen to their longings 
and give them Your peace. Protect and sustain their loved ones. We pray 
in Your strong Name. Amen.
