                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, our Lord, You are the light of the world. In Your light, we see 
our lives and know our poverty. Illuminate our path with the brightness 
of Your abundance. Supply our needs from Your celestial bounty.
  Bless our Senators. Lord, You know their lives, hearts, and thoughts. 
Give them the wisdom to refuse to deviate from integrity. Equip them 
with strength and spirit to trust You, even when they don't understand 
Your providential guidance. Guide their words so that those with whom 
they work will seek common ground for the good of our Nation and world.
  And Lord, surround the United States Senate page spring class of 2018 
with the shield of Your Divine favor. Thank You for their faithful 
service.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
