                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. We look to You today, O God, maker of heaven and earth. 
Unless You lay the foundation of our plans, we labor in vain. Unless 
You guard our Nation, our efforts to find security are futile.
  As Your servants in the Senate seek to do Your will today, make it 
clear to them the path they should follow. In the flowing of pressure, 
help them to hear the whisper of Your wisdom. Empower them to 
anticipate the forces that threaten the freedom of this good land. 
Plant in each of our hearts a reverential awe of You that will lead to 
life.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
