                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  You reign, O God, over the nations of our turbulent world. You alone 
subdue the winds and the rain with a word from Your mouth. As we return 
from recess and open this session with prayer, we are reminded that 
life on Earth is a gift that allows us to live for Your glory. Lord, we 
are humbled by the manifold blessings You pour out in this Nation and 
are grateful for Your protection and provision. Speak Your dreams into 
our hearts and unite us by the power of Your spirit.
  Give our Senators the wisdom needed to enact laws that keep America 
great. As they begin the hard work of implementing past decisions, 
grant them patience, endurance, energy, and unity. Help them, Lord, to 
grow in their respect and esteem for one another and for all who belong 
to this large Senate family.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
