                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Savior, You have been with this Nation from its birth. Use 
our lawmakers to protect and preserve it against all enemies, foreign 
and domestic.
  Give our Senators kind hearts and humble spirits; help them to aspire 
to become instruments of Your purposes. Lord, guide them to find in 
each problem and perplexity the prelude to greater understanding and 
usefulness. May they seek daily to maintain their ethical, moral, and 
spiritual fitness.
  And, Lord, sustain those who are suffering most because of this 
partial government shutdown.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
