                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, creator of the universe, create hearts within our 
Senators that will make them strong enough to know when they are weak. 
Give them sufficient bravery to choose the more difficult right. Lord, 
inspire them to be gracious in defeat and humble in victory. Give them 
enough integrity to face themselves when they are afraid, as they 
remember that perfect love destroys trepidations. Teach them, O God, 
how to stand up in the storm with complete confidence in the ultimate 
triumph of truth.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
