                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord our God, restorer of the joy of those who find You, we praise 
Your Holy Name.
  Today, strengthen our Senators. Remove from them divisions and 
strife, infusing them with a spirit of unity and humility. Deliver them 
from fatigue and irresponsibility, reminding them that careless words 
have consequences. Lord, empower them to disagree without 
contentiousness as they seek to protect our constitutional Republic 
from self-inflicted wounds. Remove clouds of disillusionment as our 
Senators strive to seize those opportunities that best serve the 
interests of freedom and human betterment.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
