                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, whose power is unsearchable and whose judgments are a 
great deep, we quiet our hearts today in Your presence.
  Give to our lawmakers a reverential awe of You, which is the 
beginning of wisdom. May they use this wisdom to amend the defective, 
leading people to choose life and blessings. Lord, let this high place 
of governance become the audience chamber of Your presence, as You 
provide our Senators with courage in the midst of fear, faith in the 
midst of doubt, and hope in the midst of despair.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
