                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord our God, You soar upon the wings of the wind. Increase our 
faith, hope, and love that we may receive Your promises.
  As our lawmakers seek to humbly do Your will, impart to them Your 
strength. Lord, pursue and overtake their adversaries, so that Your 
will may be done on Earth. Show our Senators Your loving kindness, 
enabling them to serve Your purposes for their lives in this 
generation.
  Sustain us all in the day of calamity, for we find our delight in 
You. Show mercy to the merciful, purity to the pure, and justice to the 
upright.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
