                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Architect of the universe, before the mountains were formed and the 
hills were born and the Earth received its frame, You are God. You fill 
the universe with the mysteries of Your power, and we are in awe of 
Your handiwork.
  Inspire our Senators to unite with You in the great cause of bringing 
healing to our Nation and world. May they sense Your presence 
continually, think of You consistently, and trust You constantly, 
receiving Your divine guidance for the path ahead. Lord, inspire them 
to think imaginatively about how to do Your will on Earth even as it is 
done in Heaven. We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
