                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, we are merely moving shadows, and all our busy 
rushing has no purpose without You. Rescue us from our frenetic pace 
and teach us to be still as we deepen our relationship with You.
  Bless our Senators. Give them enough challenges to keep them humble, 
enough hurt to keep them humane, and enough success to make them 
certain they are walking with You. Renew their commitment to pray not 
only for those with whom they agree but also for those with whom they 
disagree.
  Hear our prayers, O Lord, and give us Your peace. We pray in Your 
merciful Name. Amen.
