                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, whose power is unsearchable and whose judgments are 
great, quiet our hearts in Your presence. Teach us to be still and know 
that You are God.
  Bless our Senators. Give them hearts to listen, teachable minds to 
learn, and humble wills to obey. Let the light of Your purposes guide 
them from bewilderment to trust in Your infinite wisdom and resources. 
Lord, use them to bring about an ordered society of nations that gives 
substance to humanity's dream of unity and peace. Watch over the entire 
Senate family and surround us with Your protections.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
