                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, we honor Your wonderful Name. The angels bow before You; 
Heaven and Earth adore You. Your voice echoes over the oceans and 
thunders above the roar of the raging sea.
  We pray today, O God, for the families of the dozens killed in the 
massive tornado in Oklahoma. Bring healing to the injured and comfort 
to those who mourn.
  Today, may our Senators honor You with worthy service. By their words 
and actions, empower them to glorify Your Name. Lord, guide them with 
Your loving providence, as they trust in Your wisdom and might. May 
they commit themselves to Your will and leave the results to You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
