                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of life, source of our strength, in You we take refuge. Empower 
our lawmakers to be faithful in that which is least, knowing that great 
good can come from small matters. Lord, teach them to love You with all 
their mind, heart, and strength, always remaining attentive to the 
leading of Your loving Providence.
  Today, as we celebrate George Washington's birthday by reading his 
Farewell Address, inspire our Senators to lift some burden, bring light 
to some darkness, and stand firm against evil.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
