                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Majestic God, Your name fills the Earth. In spite of our challenges, 
You continue to rule with Your love, wisdom, and power. Grant that our 
lawmakers may not forget the many dangers, toils, and snares You have 
already brought our Nation through.
  Lord, give our Senators the wisdom to know that You continue to 
direct the steps of the faithful and that we have nothing to fear. 
Spirit of God, arise within our hearts and prepare us for the task of 
this day. Surprise us again with Your ability to transform dark 
yesterdays into bright tomorrows, doing for us more than we can ask or 
imagine.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
