                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, creator and sustainer of humanity, teach us the way 
of salvation, show us the path to meaningful life, and reveal to us the 
steps of faith.
  Today, use our Senators to fulfill Your purposes. Quicken their 
hearts, purify their minds, and strengthen their commitments. Show them 
duties left undone and tasks unattended, as You lead them through 
challenging seasons to a deeper experience with You. Let faith, hope, 
and love abound in their lives, as they seek to heal the hurt in our 
Nation and world.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
