                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are wisdom without end, mercy without limits, and 
strength beyond resistance. We praise Your holy Name.
  On this 19th day of the partial government shutdown, illumine our 
darkness, revive our faith, and heal our wounds. Give wisdom to our 
lawmakers. May they transform the jarring discord of anxiety and fear 
into the music of Your purposes.
  Lord, help our Senators to serve our Nation and world, unsullied by 
base motives of self-interest. Pardon and overrule what has been done 
unworthily or left undone or done amiss.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
