                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, when we look to the heavens, the works of Your fingers, 
the Moon and the stars that You have established, what is humanity that 
You are mindful of us? May those thoughts of Your Majesty lead us to 
humility and a willingness to acknowledge our weakness and failure as 
we receive Your strength and wisdom.
  Give our Senators a passion for Your glory. Help them to remember 
Your words: Those who exalt themselves shall be abased, and those who 
humble themselves shall be exalted.
  Today, I personally thank You for the gifts of Trent and Tricia Lott. 
I praise You for their friendship, their faithfulness, and their fervor 
for You. As they leave the Senate, surround them with Your grace, 
power, and love.
  We ask this in the Name of Him who is perfection incarnate. Amen.
