                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of Life, in whose will is our peace and who is worthy of a 
greater love than we can either give or understand, accept the 
gratitude of our thankful hearts. Thank You for protecting us from seen 
and unseen dangers and for being our shield in dangerous times. We 
praise You for life and health, for sunshine and shadows, for peace in 
the midst of life's storms. Lord, we are grateful for our lawmakers and 
rejoice that Your providence will prevail. Keep our Senators firm and 
steadfast as they put on Your whole armor of faith, hope, and love. 
Fill this Chamber with Your presence and our hearts with Your 
magnanimous attitude toward others.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
