                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, draw near and walk with us today. Lead our Senators 
beside still waters and restore their souls. Comfort them with Your 
grace as they strive to keep America strong. Use them to make our 
Nation a less dangerous place to live.
  May our lawmakers find fellowship with You as they seek Your guidance 
and rely on Your wisdom. Direct their steps, providing them with 
confidence for every contingency. Make them more than conquerors in all 
of life's alternating and fluctuating intricacies. Fill them with 
reverential awe as they comprehend their accountability to You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
