                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who in Your infinite wisdom ordained that we might live 
our lives within the narrow boundaries of time and circumstances, we 
honor Your Name.
  Today, supply our Senators with the strength they need to serve You. 
Help them to seize the opportunities to strengthen our Nation, bringing 
deliverance to captives and letting the oppressed go free. Lord, keep 
them from any temptation that would prevent them from glorifying You. 
Send Your spirit into their minds, and illuminate their understanding 
with insight and discernment.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
