                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal spirit, You are God, and all creation worships You. To You 
all angels, all the powers of Heaven sing in endless praise.
  Draw the hearts of our Senators to You today so that they will trust 
You to guide their minds and control their wills. Replenish their 
strength, rekindle their enthusiasm for Your purposes, and renew their 
commitment to serve You with all their hearts. Whatever they plan or 
accomplish today, may it bring America closer to the righteousness that 
exalts any nation and away from the sins that bring reproach to any 
people.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
