                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our God and provider, we thank You for the many blessings we 
enjoy as citizens of this great Nation. May we be good stewards of Your 
gifts. Lord, as we reflect on the future, we pray that Your sovereign 
presence will protect us from evil and equip us to do what is right and 
just and good.
  We pray for our Senators today, asking that You would keep them in 
good health and focused on Your plans to guide and prosper them and the 
Nation they serve. We are grateful that You are here on Capitol Hill, 
listening, watching, and judging. May all of our elected leaders do 
what is right for Your everlasting glory.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
