                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, the skies display Your marvelous craftsmanship. When 
we consider Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, we become aware of 
our deficiencies. Lord, we are flawed people seeking salvation. We are 
lost people seeking direction. We are doubting people seeking faith. 
Show us the path to meaningful life. Reveal to us the steps of faith. 
Quicken our hearts and purify our minds. Broaden our concerns and 
strengthen our commitments.
  Bless our Senators today. Show them the duties left undone. Reveal to 
them tasks unattended. Lead each of them to a richer and more rewarding 
experience with You. Amen.
