                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, Your kingdom will never end. Abide with our Senators and 
may they find favor with You. Lord, remind them that because of Your 
omnipotence, nothing is impossible for You. May their reverence for You 
provide them this day with a foundation of wisdom that will enable 
people everywhere to live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm. Teach 
our lawmakers to treasure Your commands, to walk with integrity, and to 
do what is right, just, and fair. May their relationship with You be 
like the first light of dawn, which shines even brighter until the full 
light of day.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
