                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, who shall abide in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell in Your 
holy hill? You have given us the answers. Those who walk upright and 
work righteousness, who speak the truth in their hearts, will abide in 
Your presence.
  Today, prepare the men and women of this body to dwell with You. Give 
them the integrity to be true to their duties, always striving to 
please You. Lord, fix their hearts on You, that everything they say and 
do will be under Your Lordship. Send out Your light and Your truth that 
they may shine in this Chamber, and guide our Senators in these 
challenging times. Join our lawmakers to You with an inseparable bond 
of love for You. You alone, O God, can guard their hearts with peace.
  We pray in the Redeemer's Name. Amen.
