                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of our lives, we confess our dependence on You. Give us, today, 
our daily bread, food for our bodies, minds, and spirits. Let Your 
goodness guide us, Your providence protect us, and Your love sustain 
us.
  Today, give our Senators a sense of Your precious presence. Imbue 
them with Your courage for their challenges, Your wisdom for their 
perplexities, Your peace for their anxieties, and Your faith for their 
mountains. Guide them with Your loving hand, for we acknowledge You as 
the way, the truth, and the light.
  We pray this in Your glorious Name. Amen.
