                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  May we pray.
  Eternal, sovereign Lord, supply our needs for today.
  Give strength to the weak as they shoulder heavy responsibilities. 
Give rest to the weary, that their tired hands will find new vigor. 
Give comfort to the sorrowful and compensate them for every joy that 
life takes away. Give all of us the presence of Your love, that we may 
find the peace of sins forgiven and the power to break the chains of 
temptation.
  Use our Senators today for Your glory. Uphold them when they reach 
the limits of their strength.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
