                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, give us Your wisdom when our vision fails, our 
understanding is darkened, and the ways of life seem difficult. Deepen 
our faith when our sight is dim. Guide our thoughts when we lack 
understanding.
  Bless our Senators. Infuse them with quiet confidence and patient 
trust in You. Reinforce their courage with the knowledge of Your loving 
providence. When they are frustrated, remind them that You are still 
holding things together.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
