                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, as we begin today's session, we ask that Your spirit would 
guide the deliberations of our lawmakers. Move in their hearts, 
directing their thoughts and intentions to noble ends. May our Senators 
hear Your voice and embrace Your wisdom as they seek to keep our Nation 
strong and lead the world into a new era of freedom.
  Lord, help our Nation's leaders stand tall for righteousness. Embue 
them with stamina for the long days ahead. Bind them together as prayer 
partners as they deal with the diversity of ideas. And, Lord, bless all 
who labor for liberty on Capitol Hill, and their families.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
