                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our hearts are steadfast toward You. Lead us safely to 
the refuge of Your choosing, for You desire to give us a future and a 
hope. Today give our Senators the power to do Your will as they realize 
more fully they are servants of heaven and stewards of Your mysteries. 
May faithfulness be the litmus test by which they evaluate each action. 
May they never be careless about their spiritual and moral growth as 
You make them Your instruments for achieving lasting peace and justice 
in troublesome times.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
