                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father of love, as we live this day, give us wisdom, strength, and 
love to serve You in all we do. We acknowledge You, Lord, as the 
creator and sustainer of our destinies, so show us how to do Your will.
  Guide our Senators. Lead them by Your wisdom, as they seek to follow 
You. Illuminate their path with the light of Your truth and keep them 
from sin. Help them to overcome the temptation of trying to make it on 
their own strength and, instead, guide them until they yield to the 
inflow of Your wisdom, insight, and vision.
  And Lord, continue to protect our military men and women in harm's 
way. We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
