                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the center of our joy, Your word says You bless 
those who do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. You also say that 
those who delight in Your word day and night are like fruitful trees 
planted by streams of water. Today, let Your word guide those who serve 
here on Capitol Hill. Infuse our Senators and their staffs with Your 
presence, power, and peace. Lord, make Your power available to them 
hour by hour so that they will have the physical, intellectual, 
emotional, and spiritual stamina to complete the duties of this day. 
And Lord, in the midst of the business of this day, allow them to 
experience Your peace that passes all understanding.
  We pray in Your gracious Name. Amen.
