                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, from whom comes all things good and true, we give 
reverence to Your Name. Lord, forgive us when we don't take time to 
think clearly, pray sincerely, and cultivate the sense of Your 
presence. Thank You for strengthening our faith, renewing our courage, 
and sheltering us from harm.
  Bless our Senators. May Your grace and peace sustain them as they 
find in You the source of all mercy and comfort. Grant that their faith 
in Your power will strengthen them through every season of trials. 
Lord, give them the wisdom to pray for one another so they will 
cooperate with each other in working for Your glory.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
