SENATE-Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - GovInfo ... of all wisdom, we bring our fragmented lives ... seeking the permanence of Your gra- ... that in everything You work for the ... lic for which it stands, one nation under God, ... It says: He wants to see Congress and the Obama administration cover all ... everybody else but perfect for them ... I believe those words to be as true.PRAYER The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, of- fered the following prayer: Eternal Spirit, the fountain of all wisdom, we bring our fragmented lives into Your presence, seeking Your wholeness. We bring our restless spirits to You seeking Your calm strength. We bring You our transient thoughts, seeking the permanence of Your gra- cious providence. Today, remind our lawmakers that only as we lose ourselves in something higher can we truly find ourselves. To this end, give them great causes to em- brace and a great faith to energize their labors. Lord, lead them from doubt and disillusionment, from cyni- cism and frustration, to a confidence that in everything You work for the good of those who love You. Give them the light to see the way You desire them to take through today's per- plexing circumstances. We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
