                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our rock and fortress, we trust the unfolding of Your loving 
providence. May our lawmakers find refuge in the shadow of Your 
citadel. Give our Senators eyes that are willing to see their own 
mistakes and to be patient with the faults of others. May our 
legislators walk with reverence and sensitivity through all the seasons 
of their lives. Lord, give them steadfast hearts as they strive to 
glorify You in all they think, say, and do. Open their minds to think 
Your thoughts and their hearts to do Your will.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
