                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Merciful God, a gracious and willing guest in every heart, thank You 
for the opportunities and privileges of this day. May Your peace rule 
within our Senators' hearts. As they remember how You have guided us in 
the past, give them strength for today and bright hopes for tomorrow. 
With the ebb and flow of life's seasons, may they grow more certain of 
Your reality and power. Lord, when much seems obscure to them, may they 
be even more faithful to the little they can clearly see. Continue to 
shower them and their loved ones with Your daily mercies.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
