                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our fortress, our shelter in the time of storm, we look to You 
for peace in spite of turbulence and trust You to bring us to a desired 
destination. With Your mighty acts, You blessed and unshackled us, and 
we rejoice in the freedom You provide.
  Strengthen our Senators today so that they may speak and act inspired 
by Your spirit. Lord, enable them to hear Your voice and follow Your 
lead. Make them good stewards of their influence as they strive to live 
exemplary lives. Guide them, O God, until they delight to do Your will.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
