                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord God Almighty, how great and wonderful are Your deeds.
  Bless today the many people who help our Senators do their work. 
Lord, we thank You for the many members of their staffs who help them 
succeed. We thank You for our pages and the significant work they do. 
We are grateful for those who work without fanfare to keep the 
legislative process going. Keep these faithful servants of freedom from 
growing weary in their labors. Remind them that their harvest season 
will come. May they never forget that faithfulness is more important to 
You than success. Guide them with the light of Your truth until one day 
they will experience the joy of hearing You say, ``Well done.''
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
