                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, we believe that You will never fail or forsake us, 
but help us to never take Your love and faithfulness for granted. 
Empower our Senators to be good stewards of the many blessings and of 
the responsibilities and opportunities You have given them. Lord, open 
their minds and give them a vision of the unlimited possibilities 
available to those who trust You as their guide. Incline their ears to 
hear Your voice and fill them with Your power, O Lord of Hosts. You are 
the King, eternal, immortal, invisible, who alone is wise. You deserve 
the honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
