                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Spirit of God, as the snow falls gently to the Earth, descend on our 
hearts. We praise You for Your tender mercies, for they are new every 
morning.
  Infuse our Senators with confidence in the ultimate triumph of Your 
providence. May they continue to trust You even in the face of daunting 
opposition. Lord, make them so just and fair that falsehood may be 
banished by the truth that sets them free. Supply their needs from the 
reservoir of Your great bounty, so that they will come behind in no 
good thing. Thank You for the strength and vitality You provide us each 
day.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
