                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, Lord of the nations, You have magnified Your word 
above Your Name. As our lawmakers grapple with unyielding problems, 
give them the wisdom to turn to You for help. Lord, You have promised 
to supply all of our needs, so give our Senators what they need to meet 
the complex challenges of these days. May they take risks for the sake 
of truth and justice as they acknowledge with humility their need of 
Your abundant blessings. Bless them with a fresh regenerating touch of 
Your power.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
