                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, from whom 
we come and to whom we go at last, quiet our spirits and give us the 
grace to faithfully serve You during these challenging times. Lead our 
Senators to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before You. 
May they offer to You their bodies, minds, and spirits in service, that 
they may fulfill Your purpose for humanity. Lord, give them joyful and 
dauntless hearts, prepared for surprises and ready always for fresh 
opportunities. Infuse them with the belief that You can accomplish what 
seems to be humanly impossible.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
