                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, strengthen the desire of our Senators to serve You. May 
they join You in bringing peace, justice, and order to our Nation and 
the world. Confirm the wisdom of their service in the joy they receive 
from doing Your will. Lord, fill them with Your spirit so they can 
discover creative ways to meet the challenges of our time. Give them 
courage to change their minds when it is needed in order to travel 
along a more productive path. Let integrity be the hallmark of their 
characters.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
