                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the giver of every good and perfect gift, bring the 
hearts and minds of our lawmakers into harmony with Your will so they 
can be assured that their lives are fulfilling Your high purposes. 
Lord, give them the incentives they need, the trust that is essential, 
and the joy that is possible as they face the duties and opportunities 
that lie before them. Give our Senators such grace that they will be 
faithful in their tasks this day and every day. Increase their hunger 
and thirst for righteousness and feed them with the bread of Heaven.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
