                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, we trust You to order our steps. Show us Your path 
and teach us to follow You. Lord, guide us by Your truth and instruct 
us with Your wisdom.
  Today, help our Senators to give You their challenges as they 
remember that You have promised to make them more than conquerors. 
Infuse them with a spirit of peace, and may they find new strength in 
Your gift of quiet confidence. May they trust You above all and through 
all, as You pour into their hearts a greater love for You and humanity.
  Use us, O God, to bring healing to those in pain, hope to those in 
despair, and peace to those in war.
  We pray in Your awesome Name. Amen.
