                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our only hope, our help in times of trouble, lead our 
Senators to use their power and influence with faithfulness. May Your 
word rule in their hearts, as they are led by Your wisdom. Lord, help 
them to seek Your will and see it clearly. May they work out the issues 
that divide them, as they strive to serve the welfare of our Nation and 
world. Empower our lawmakers to not become so familiar with Your 
customary daily blessings that they lose the sense of expectancy for 
Your special interventions in the complex challenges they face.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
