                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of grace and God of glory, Your providence has guided our ways in 
times past. You have taught us to trust You for each day and every 
event.
  As our Senators seek to do Your will, renew their faith, rekindle 
their love, and regenerate their resolve. Give them the insight to know 
that not everything old is bad, nor everything new, good; conversely, 
not everything old is good, nor everything new, bad. Teach them through 
Your Spirit lessons they need to learn. May their highest aim be to 
love You and do Your will. Lead them with Your sure hand so they may 
follow You without hesitation.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
