                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord, preserve us in our pilgrimage through this life, using 
us as Your light to a dark world. Free us from hindrances that keep us 
from accomplishing Your purposes on Earth.
  Today, abide with our Senators. Give light to guide them, faith to 
inspire them, courage to motivate them, and compassion to unite them 
now and evermore. Lord, help them in the making of laws to execute 
justice and to set the captives free. Protect them in their work and 
keep them from those things that lead to ruin. Give them faith to see 
beyond today, to sow the seeds and cultivate the soil that will bring 
our Nation a bountiful harvest.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
