                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our heavenly Father, give us the courage to continue with hope when 
the days are difficult and our work is challenging. Stay near to our 
Senators, particularly when they are weary and when doubts and 
anxieties assail them. Give them the wisdom to do their best and leave 
the rest to Your loving care.
  Lord, take their lips and speak through them; take their minds and 
think through them; take their hearts and love humanity through them.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
