                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord our God, how great You are. You are robed with honor and 
majesty. Today, lead our lawmakers in their work. May they be 
messengers of unity and hope in a world of derision and despair. Make 
them productive servants who live lives that honor You. Remind them to 
act with justice, to love mercy, and to walk with humility. May they 
speak Your words that lead to life and find a firm footing by living 
with integrity. Because You are merciful, guide them away from crooked 
roads where they might slip and fall. Sovereign Lord, strengthen our 
Senators to seize opportunities that bring peace, hope, and freedom.
  We pray in Your wise Name. Amen.
