                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, sustain America with Your providential protection as 
You inspire us to cultivate faith, hope, and love. Bless our lawmakers, 
using them to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need. 
Touch our Senators with Your love and peace, as Your will is done in 
the Senate and in all the offices and homes represented here. Purge our 
hearts of anything that doesn't honor You.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
