                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, because of Your power, monarchs reign and rulers decree 
justice. Radiate Your light and peace on Capitol Hill today. Help our 
Senators to understand Your will and make the commitment to follow Your 
leading. Lord, give them the wisdom to live in harmony with one another 
so that together they will strengthen America. May the weapons they 
face fail because of the shield of Your divine favor that protects 
them. Sustain them in their going out and coming in, in their rising up 
and lying down. Instruct them in the night seasons, providing them with 
wisdom to illuminate the darkness of our world.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
