                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, instruct us in the way we should go. Direct the steps 
of our lawmakers, leading them beside still waters as You restore their 
souls. As they put their trust in You, be for them a shield of defense. 
Lord, preserve them, keeping them from stumbling or slipping. Enable 
them to rejoice because Your goodness and mercies endure forever. May 
our Senators remember that You love righteousness and justice. May this 
knowledge motivate them to follow Your precepts, earnestly striving to 
glorify Your Holy Name. Amen.
