                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, may Your Name be honored. Today, lead our 
Senators along the road of humility so that You can exalt them in due 
time. May they have the wisdom to reap the bountiful harvest that comes 
from planting the seeds of lowliness and reverential awe.
  Lord, make them wise and strong as they face national challenges that 
threaten our freedom. Guide them, strong Deliverer, for they are 
pilgrims in time who are headed for eternity. Continue in everything to 
work for the good of those who love You, who are the called according 
to Your purposes. Keep us, O God, so dedicated to You and Your purposes 
that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
