                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who spreads the lightning against the dark clouds, Your 
Name is holy. Your blessings continue to sustain this Nation and all 
who labor for liberty. May our Senators never take for granted their 
privilege to serve both You and country. Give them such gratitude that 
their actions will reinforce their thanksgiving. Lord, provide them 
with wisdom to become Your hands, feet, and voice in these challenging 
times.
  Lord, be with those who support our lawmakers, particularly the 
family members who routinely sacrifice for America's good. May these 
often unsung heroes and heroines know that You are aware of their 
faithfulness and will reward their efforts.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
