                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, thank You for Your promise to meet all our needs. 
Plant Your peace in the garden of the hearts of our Senators, enabling 
them to feel the power of Your presence when they need it most. May 
they find opportunities to trust You, even in the midst of trouble. 
Lord, bring them through the difficulties of our times, as gold tried 
in the fire. Help them to be healing agents as they exemplify for the 
American people civility, graciousness, and oneness. Let Your spirit 
guide them moment by moment, keeping them close to You.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
