                                 prayer

  Let us pray.
  Spirit of the living God, discover us today. Remove the obstacles 
that keep us from You and reach into the barren places of our hearts. 
Permit us to hear Your whisper as we are guided by our conscience. 
Chasten us as You guide our feet to the right path.
  Today, O Lord, speak to our Senators. Let some ennobling word of 
justice and beauty inspire them in this challenging hour. Strengthen 
them to mend broken relationships, to maintain their integrity, and to 
strive always to please You. Protect them with Your power. We pray this 
in Your strong Name. Amen.
