                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, eternal and unchangeable, before whom the generations 
rise and pass away, guide the Members of this body so that all they say 
and decide will be according to Your will.
  Take command of their thoughts today. Provide them with words to 
speak that will bring unity. Give them clarity for the hard choices 
they face and strength for the stresses of leadership. Help them hear 
the cries of those in our world who struggle with pain, loss, fear, 
confusion, limitations, and loneliness.
  Give our Senators the vision and willingness to see and do Your will. 
We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
