                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, who reveals Yourself gloriously in the rising and 
setting Sun, make us good stewards of Your blessings. Give us 
opportunities to help solve the problems in our world by using our 
minds to produce creative solutions.
  Inspire our Senators. As they abide in Your presence, make them 
receptive to Your guidance. Fill their minds with insight and wisdom, 
their hearts with resiliency and courage, and their bodies with vigor 
and vitality. Today, give them the grace to think not of what they can 
get but of what they can give. Empower them to practice conciliation 
without compromise. Place Your arms of protection around them and their 
loved ones.
  We pray in Your all-powerful Name. Amen.
