The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:

Let us pray.

Eternal Lord God, today, give us zeal with knowledge that will order

our priorities for Your glory. Remind us to strive to bring deliverance to captives, sight to the morally blind, and uplift to the downtrodden.

As our lawmakers make plans, give them faith to know that Your

principles, priorities, and purposes will prevail. As our Senators cultivate reverence for You, bless them with safety, security, and peace.

Lord, let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with us.

We pray in Your transcendent Name. Amen.
