                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our refuge and strength, give us reverence for Your greatness. 
Guide our Senators around the pitfalls of their work, enabling them to 
have hearts sustained by Your peace. May they surrender their will to 
You as they trust You to direct their path. Lord, give them the wisdom 
to receive Your approval with the understanding that You chastise those 
whom You love for their good. Empower them to find freedom in being as 
true to duty as the needle to the pole. Make their lives productive for 
the glory of Your Name.
  Amen.
