                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, we believe, but we need You to remove our doubts. As 
our lawmakers face daunting challenges, give them an unwavering faith 
that will not shrink when facing obstacles. Imbue them with greater 
patience, and make them constant in their commitment to do Your will. 
Lord, help them to cast their cares on You and leave to You the 
consequences of their faithful service. Prosper all they do today in 
accordance with Your will and with Your almighty power. Annul and 
overrule any poor decisions they make.
  Lord, thank You for the faithful service of Senator Mo Cowan. Bless 
him as he prepares to leave the Senate.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
