                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sovereign God, teach us to live in and for Your peace. As our 
Senators permit Your peace to govern their hearts, may they make 
decisions that honor You. Remind them that true spirituality is more 
than believing the right things or performing good deeds. Help them to 
see that true religion consists of having a relationship with You 
characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
  Lord, help us this day to receive from You the gift of Your love, 
permitting You to fill our lives with joy. Inspired by Your Spirit, 
help us to refrain from evil and to have a deep longing to do Your will 
on Earth even as it is done in Heaven.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
