[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 152 (2006), Part 16] [Senate] [Page 21372] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] prayer The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer: Let us pray. God of our eternal hope, those who serve You live in Your presence. Give our lawmakers the wisdom to follow Your teachings. Let Your precepts lead them to make laws that will help the marginalized and strengthen our Nation's moral foundation. May Your wisdom provide them with strategies to defeat the enemies of this land. Remind them that You have a plan which will bring them to a desired end. Instill in them courage to love their enemies, grace to bless those who curse them, and power to pray for those who mistreat them. By their faithfulness, may they demonstrate daily that they are, indeed, Your children. We pray in Your holy Name. Amen. ____________________
