                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, source of all goodness, teach us how to master ourselves 
that we may serve others. May this self mastery inspire our lawmakers 
to serve others by joining You in bringing deliverance to those in 
captivity because of life's painful circumstances. Support our Senators 
with Your strength, as You guide them with Your wisdom. May Your peace 
that surpasses all human understanding be with us all our days. Lord, 
unite our lawmakers in the common cause of justice, righteousness, and 
truth.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
