[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 7] [Senate] [Page 9345] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] prayer The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer: Let us pray. O God, we are in Your hands and may we rejoice above all things in being so. Do with us what seems good in Your sight. Only let us love You with all our mind, soul, and strength. Today, show mercy to the Members of this legislative body. Let Your sovereign hand be over them and Your Holy Spirit ever be with them, directing all their thoughts, words, and works to Your glory. Lord, prosper the works of their hands, enabling them in due season to reap a bountiful harvest if they faint not. In all that they say and do, may they seek Your glory, striving for faithfulness in even the small matters of their labors. We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen. ____________________
