                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, from whom all holy desires come and all good counsels do 
proceed, let Your presence be felt in our midst today. Crown the 
deliberations of our Senators with Your wisdom as You provide them with 
insights that will make a better world. Lord, help them to take charge 
of this day, meeting its joys with gratitude, its challenges with 
fortitude, and its doubts with faith. Guard them from error; deliver 
them from evil. Make them faithful servants of Your providential 
purposes, giving them consciences void of offense as they seek to 
glorify You.
  We pray in Your faithful Name. Amen.
