                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Most holy and gracious God, who turns the shadow of night into the 
glory of morning, shower our lawmakers with Your mercy this day. Calm 
troubled thoughts, and guide their feet in the way of peace.
  Let Your strength be more than sufficient to meet and manage their 
weaknesses. Make them instruments of Your grace and goodness, as You 
renew in them the joy of belonging to You. Let Your eyes rest upon our 
Senators, and keep Your ears open to their prayers.
  Guard their feet so that they will not deviate from the path of 
unwavering integrity. Give them fresh opportunities to discover Your 
unlimited power. We pray in Your blessed Name. Amen.
