                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, You promised that those who passionately seek You will 
find You. Deliver us from distractions that hinder our pursuit of You, 
as You enable us to experience Your presence today.
  Lord, guard the hearts and minds of our Senators with Your peace, 
guiding them with Your power. Draw them into intimacy with You, helping 
them to remember that nothing can separate them from Your love. Rescue 
them from misplaced priorities that major in minors and minor in 
majors. Bring their thoughts and actions into captivity to Your will.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
