                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, awe and wonder grip us when we reflect upon Your 
majesty. You are the source of our strength and provide our hope for 
years to come.
  Guide our Senators today. May they seek Your marching orders and have 
the courage to follow the cadence of Your drumbeat. Give them the 
courage to act as well as to think, to do as well as to talk, and to 
accomplish Your will on Earth in all their work. Lead them, O God, to 
think with clarity, to love with honor, and to see the stamp of Your 
image in all Your creation.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
