                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You are supreme over all the nations. With loyalty and 
love, You continue to guide us.
  As our Senators deal with today's challenges, unite them in the 
common task of doing what is best for our Nation and world. May they 
see they can accomplish far more working together than they can by 
embracing disunity. When they are tempted to doubt, steady their faith. 
When they do not know what to do, give them a wisdom that can change 
and shape our times according to Your plan. Empower them to trust You 
more fully, to live for You more completely, and to serve You more 
willingly.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
