                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Immortal, invisible God only wise, Your love endures throughout all 
generations. Thank You for Your wondrous work and for Your constant 
care for our world.
  Lord, today, bless our Senators. Let their lips disperse knowledge 
and their conduct produce peace. Empower them to walk with integrity 
and to strive to honor You. Remind them often that humility comes 
before honor. Grant that whatever work they do, they may labor for You. 
Guide them in all of their decisions and give them the power to live 
victoriously. Give them the perseverance to finish the tasks they 
start.
  Lord, help each of us to not simply honor You with our lips but also 
with our lives. All this we ask for Your love's sake. Amen.
