                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of infinite goodness, today empower our Senators to use their 
time, understanding, and talents to do what You desire. May this 
passion to serve You guide their thoughts, words, and work. Grant that 
they may not be too much lost in regret for the past but instead 
inspire them to do with their might the task which lies in their hands. 
Lord, strengthen them to fight the good fight, to finish the race, and 
to keep the faith. At the end of their journey, reward their 
faithfulness with a crown of righteousness and the harvest of work well 
done.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
