                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy God, all Your works do praise Your Name on the Earth, in the 
sky, and on the sea. Great is Your faithfulness. Stir Your edifying 
spirit among our Senators, liberating them from shortsightedness, as 
they work diligently for the freedom and justice of all. Lord, make 
them citizens of Your kingdom, so that Your will may be done on Earth 
even as it is done in Heaven. Help them to draw near to You with true 
hearts and the full assurance that their times are in Your hands. Thank 
You for the liberties You have given America and help us to remember 
that eternal vigilance is the price for freedom.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
