                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  O God, our Father, who fills the universe with the mysteries of Your 
power, give Your light to our Senators. Illuminate their paths with 
Your wisdom that they may embrace Your precepts and seek Your truth. 
Make the light of Your truth guide them as they seek to solve the 
complex problems of our time. Lord, help them to see the things they 
ought to do and give them the courage to act. Show them where to go, 
how they should decide, and which pitfalls they should avoid. Guided by 
Your light, lead them to Your desired destination, as they find joy in 
both serving and loving You.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
