                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, be with us not only in great moments of experience but 
also during mundane and common tasks. Through the power of Your Spirit, 
may our Senators mount up with wings like eagles, running without 
weariness and walking without fainting. Give them the wisdom to be 
patient with others, ever lenient to their faults and ever prompt to 
appreciate their virtues.
  Lord, rule in the hearts of our lawmakers, keeping them from sin and 
sustaining their loved ones in all of their tomorrows. Surround us all 
with the shield of Your mercy, as You provide us with a future, hope, 
and blessings too numerous to be stored.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
