                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we will remember Your works and Your wonders of old, 
meditating on Your mighty acts that bless us each day.
  Lord, You have ordained that in the leadership of nations the care of 
the many will rest upon the shoulders of the few. Give our Senators 
this day the understanding, humility, and faith to be ambassadors of 
reconciliation. Lord, help them to have no anxiety about anything, as 
they trust You to empower them to do their best. Cleanse the inner 
fountains of their hearts from all that may defile them, sustaining 
them always with Your mercy and grace.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
