                                 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 
morning, satisfy our hearts with Your mercy that we may rejoice and be 
glad all the day. Abide with the Members of this body, permitting the 
light of Your countenance to calm every troubled thought, and to guide 
their feet in the way of peace. Perfect Your strength in their weakness 
and help them to serve You and country to the glory of Your Name. Lord, 
in a world so uncertain about many things, make our Senators sure of no 
light but Yours and no refuge but You. Give them courage to seek the 
truth and wisdom to humbly follow where it leads. We pray in the 
Redeemer's Name. Amen.
