                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the giver of every good and perfect gift, thank You for 
all that makes life worthwhile. Thank You for tasks to do, for health 
of body, for accuracy of hand and eye, for skill of mind, and for 
friends and loved ones.
  Today, equip the minds of our Senators with three assurances to 
sustain them. Remind them of Your sovereignty, Your power, and Your 
love. Give them the wisdom to believe that there is no problem or 
circumstance beyond Your control. May this knowledge guide their 
thinking, speaking, and decisions in a way that will glorify You.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
