                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, You lead us like a shepherd, for we desperately need 
Your tender care. We thank You for life's clouds and storms that 
position us to receive Your deliverance and assurance. Thank You also 
for refusing to move our mountains but instead giving us strength to 
climb them.
  Today, bless our Senators and each member of their staffs, who 
routinely deliver excellence in the midst of frenetic activity. May 
these faithful staffers never forget Your promise to always be with 
them. Guide them today with fresh insights on abundant living, as You 
supply all their needs out of the riches of Your celestial bounty.
  We pray in Your generous Name.
  Amen.
