                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Shepherd of love, sustainer of our lives, and superintendent of our 
destinies, we honor Your Name. Lord, in these turbulent times, we 
continue to look to You, our helper, as You lead us beside still 
waters, restoring our souls. Help us to trust You even when we don't 
understand Your providential movements, as we find joy in Your presence 
each day.
  Thank You for Your constant love and for Your reminder that in 
everything You are working for the good of those who love You and are 
called according to Your purposes. Guide our Senators, keeping them 
from deviating from strict integrity, as they strive to live worthy of 
Your love. We pray, in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
