                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, most high, thank You for being light in our darkness, 
food for our hunger, peace for our pressures, joy for our sorrow, 
forgiveness for our failures, strength for our weakness, guidance for 
our confusion, and health for our sickness.
  May our Senators labor today with the knowledge that You are 
everything they need. When they feel uncertain about the next step to 
take, supply their needs from Your bountiful riches. Lord, keep them 
from stumbling or slipping as they strive to live lives that honor You. 
May they ever do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
