                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of wonder, majesty and grace, You have promised that wherever two 
or three or a thousand gather in Your Name, You are in their midst. 
Come and dwell with us today. Be with our Senators but also with all 
beyond this Chamber who daily join us in prayer. Lord, raise up an army 
of praying people, whose love for You and country will bring a new 
birth of spirituality and patriotism to our land. Today, we claim Your 
promise that the earnest fervent prayers of righteous people produce 
powerful results. In response to our prayer, give us wisdom to discern 
Your will and the power to do it. We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
