                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of all being, energize our Senators today with Your presence. 
Out of Your infinite wisdom, speak to their finite hearts and guide 
them on right paths. Out of Your marvelous grace, minister to their 
common needs. Lord, inspire them to cherish the ethical road that leads 
to a destination that honors You. Remind them that they may make plans, 
but Your purposes will prevail. Enable them to sense Your guidance as 
they grapple with the problems of our time.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
