                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our Father, before whom the lives of all are exposed and the 
desires of all are known, continue to be at work in our lives.
  Use our lawmakers as instruments of Your purposes, so that Your will 
may be done on Earth and Your kingdom may be established. Prompt our 
Senators to yield to the unfolding of Your mighty providence, as You 
remind them that our times are in Your hands. May they refuse to boast 
about tomorrow, depending upon Your strength and sufficiency for each 
day.
  Great and marvelous are Your works, O God. Just and true are Your 
ways, O King of Kings.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
