                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, You hold victory in store for the upright. As we 
cross the threshold of another day, thank You for calling us to be Your 
sons and daughters.
  Bless our lawmakers. Make them bigger in their thinking, in their 
praying, and in their outreach to the huddled masses yearning to 
breathe free. May our Senators find nourishment in Your sacred Word as 
they press toward the goal of becoming more like You. Lord, lead them 
upon the byways and the highways of service in a way that glorifies 
You. Grant them grace to walk in Your light and follow Your guidance.
  Thank You that Your grace abides with us all, hour by hour and day by 
day.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
