The Lord says, “Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

Senator: Weekly Prayer Breakfasts Promote Understanding
WASHINGTON (AP) _ A leader of the U.S. Senate's weekly prayer breakfasts says they're often attended by 20 or more senators from both parties.
Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota says each week a senator talks about his or her faith, life and prayer needs. The chaplain then leads prayers, often followed by questions and discussion.
Klobuchar, who leads the prayer meetings with Republican Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia, says lawmakers' different religious convictions obviously lead them to different policy conclusions.
But she says the gatherings help senators better understand what motivates colleagues and see them as more than just political rivals.
