                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, by whose providence our forebears brought forth this 
Nation, give to our Senators a passion to protect those liberties for 
which so many have given their lives to defend. Give them also the 
wisdom to trust You with all their hearts and to passionately and 
humbly pursue Your will, knowing that You have promised to direct their 
paths.
  Today, may our lawmakers experience the constancy of Your presence. 
Guide them with Your higher wisdom, and bring them to the end of this 
day with their hearts at peace with You.
  We pray in the Redeemer's Name. Amen.
