                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our rock, You are our shield in the time of storm. We give 
You our hopes and dreams, knowing that You know what is best for our 
Nation and world. Lord, You know the numerous challenges we face, so 
guide our Senators with Your wisdom. May integrity and uprightness be 
the standards for their conduct so that they will not disappoint You. 
Lift the light of Your countenance upon them and be gracious to them. 
Give fresh strength and wisdom as You renew the drumbeat of Your Spirit 
in their hearts, empowering them to march to the rhythm of Your 
righteousness.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
