                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, whose glory has been revealed through the generations, 
renew within our Senators a true understanding of Your purpose for this 
Nation and world. Illuminate their minds with the light of Your wisdom 
so that they will know how to meet the complex challenges of our time. 
Lord, use them to lift the spirits of the American people, to encourage 
the hearts of those on life's margins, and to bring peace to those 
troubled by the problems in our world. May their trust in Your Word 
fill them with confidence in Your providential leading.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
