                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, You are not only just and holy, but Your mercies 
endure forever. Because of Your goodness, we receive Your forgiveness 
and love. Forgive our past mistakes and give us new hearts that we 
might serve You with passion.
  Today, bless our Senators physically, mentally, and spiritually. 
Strengthen them so that they will control their tongues, actions, 
minds, and hearts. Preserve them in soundness of mind that all their 
decisions will be made for Your glory.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
