                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almighty God, who has ordained that we live our lives within the 
bounds of time and circumstances, use Your omnipotence to accomplish 
Your purposes on Earth. Through the labors of our lawmakers, bring to 
pass the triumph of Your sovereign will. Lord, empower our Senators to 
face life's challenges with the strength You so generously provide. Let 
them not repeat the mistakes of yesterday in the life of today, nor in 
the life of today set any bad examples for the life of tomorrow. Fill 
us all with Your joy and peace, which no circumstance can take from us.
  We pray in Your gracious Name. Amen.
