                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer, strengthen our Senators with Your 
spirit, infusing them with power for living. Lord, make Your truth real 
to them, enabling them to discover in Your precepts light for their 
path. May Your mercy, grace, and peace sustain them through the myriad 
challenges they face.
  Lord, set them free from fear as they remember that nothing can 
separate them from Your love. As Your grace abounds toward them, give 
them strength for every weakness and sufficiency for every trial.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
