                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, You remain faithful even when we are unfaithful. 
Nothing is impossible for You, for You have all power in Your hands. 
Thank You for being wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient with us.
  Lord, continue to guide our Senators. May they seek to be instruments 
of Your glory, striving to please You in all that they do. Make them so 
ethically congruent that they practice what they profess. May their 
hearts be so transformed by Your spirit that they seek Your approbation 
above any earthly approval.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
