                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of grace and glory, hear our prayer and answer us when we call. 
Lord, You forgive our sins and heal our sickness, for Your mercy is 
great toward those who esteem Your Name. Thank You for Your promises to 
never forsake us and to render ineffectual the weapons we face.
  Strengthen our Senators in their efforts to do good, sustaining them 
in their labors. Give them more than human wisdom to solve the problems 
of these momentous times. Keep them calm in the quiet center of their 
lives so that they may be serene in the swirling stresses of their 
work.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
