                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we worship You, for Your loving-kindness, truth, and 
faithfulness sustain us. Though You are high, You respect the lowly. So 
today infuse our Senators with the spirit of lowliness and humility. 
Give them the wisdom to know that You give grace to the humble but 
oppose the proud. May their humility bring them that reverential awe 
that leads to honor and life. Lord, help them to remember that 
America's greatness comes not from the swagger of might but from the 
lowliness of that righteousness which exalts any nation. Guide our 
lawmakers with Your wisdom and uphold them with Your might.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
