                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, every day Your hand of grace is upon us. Not a 
moment goes by that is not touched by Your providence. Give our 
Senators today tongues to speak Your truth and the hearts to do Your 
will. Lord, give them such a transcendent spirit that they will unleash 
redemptive forces to transform lives. Give them also the light of truth 
to show them where they ought to go. Make them faithful stewards of 
their time, talents, and testimony as they seek to live for Your glory.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
