                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the Earth belongs to You. At creation, You brought order 
out of chaos and light out of darkness. We wait for You to renew our 
strength, enabling us to mount up with wings as eagles.
  Today reinforce our Senators with the constant assurance of Your 
presence, renewing their energies and enlarging their vision. Lord, 
give them hearts that find peace in the knowledge that they are 
ultimately accountable to You alone. Redeem their failures, reward 
their integrity, and crown their day with the benediction of Your 
peace.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
