                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, we wait in reverence before Your throne. Cleanse us from 
our sins, creating in us clean hearts while renewing a right spirit 
within us.
  Lord, help our lawmakers today to discern Your voice and do Your 
will. Give them the ability to differentiate Your guidance from all 
others, permitting You to lead them to Your desired destination. Speak 
to them through Your word, guide them with Your spirit, and sustain 
them with Your might. Let all they do be well done, fit for Your eyes 
to see and receiving Your divine approbation.
  And, Lord, we ask You to comfort Senator and Mrs. Inhofe as they 
grieve the death of their son.
  We pray in Your merciful Name.
  Amen.
