                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  High and Holy God, we extol and adore Your Name. Lord, You shower us 
with love and forgiveness, and You guide our footsteps through life's 
challenging seasons. Today we pray that You would bless America. 
Quicken the hearts of its citizens that they may labor to bring honor 
to You. Redeem this land from coarse secular prosperity, and build it 
up in an ethical and moral fitness that will bless the world. Use our 
Senators today as Your choice instruments. May they not lose the vision 
of the goals of righteousness and honor, of justice and understanding, 
of peace and good will.
  We pray in Your matchless Name. Amen.
