                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, we look to You for hope. Teach us the power of being 
quiet in Your presence. Shelter us from the noise, tension, sound, and 
fury that bewilder us. Remind us to be still in order to know Your 
wisdom. Help us to see that those who love You are never alone, for we 
are sustained by Your powerful companionship.
  May we find our peace in the knowledge that You are always with us. 
Bless our Senators. Give them the wisdom to trust You without wavering. 
Make them constantly aware of Your unfailing love. Rescue them from 
danger and keep their feet from slipping.
  We pray this in Your holy Name. Amen.
