                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father, thank You for today. May we receive the gift of this day 
thoughtfully, graciously, and gratefully. Thank You for the love of 
family, for the joy of good health, for the thirst for goodness and 
truth.
  Sustain our Senators in their work. May they be stewards of love, 
grace, compassion, and patience. Let them never lack the courage or the 
will to do Your work. Show them the things that must be changed that 
they may not hinder Your plan. Illumine their path so that they will 
know how to live for Your glory.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
