  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, we praise You for Your act of love that comes to us as 
gifts each day. Thank You for life and health, for strength and wisdom, 
for hope and joy. Thank You for our lawmakers who work each day to keep 
us living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Bless our 
Senators as they work, providing them with wisdom and courage for the 
living of these days. May Your everlasting grace and compassion 
encompass them as You empower them to be faithful in their tasks this 
and every day. We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
