[Congressional Record Volume 155, Number 13 (Thursday, January 22, 2009)] [Senate] [Page S733] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] prayer The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer: Let us pray. Lord, who has given Your servants diversities of gifts, bless all who love and serve humanity. May this time of change help us remember the importance of making Your priorities our own. Lord, give wisdom and strength to our lawmakers as they seek to build bridges of consensus for the good of our land. Strengthen them with the assurance that the purposes of Your providence will prevail. Light up their small duties and routine chores with the knowledge that glory can reside in the common task. Reward them with Your peace and joy. Lord, we ask Your rich blessings upon our Senate pages who will be leaving us tomorrow. We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen. ____________________
