                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Spirit of God, who brought creation out of the void, light from 
darkness, and order from chaos, may Your Name be praised. Inspire our 
Senators. Use their daily experiences of joy and sorrow, pleasure and 
pain, victory and defeat for Your glory. Remind them that no evil can 
stop the unfolding of Your purposes and providence, as You work through 
them to bring harmony where there is discord. May they find joy in Your 
faithfulness.
  Lord, lead them with Your merciful hands as You continue to provide 
for their needs. Protect them and their loved ones with the shield of 
Your love.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
