                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, the center of our joy, bless our lawmakers with the 
peace and wisdom needed to lead in our challenging world. Give them 
eyes to discern and understand the intricate complexity of this 
turbulent season. Lord, guide our Senators to the right paths. Lead 
them beside still waters. Restore their souls. Let them lack nothing, 
for You can keep them whole. Overflow their cups with gentleness, care, 
and understanding for the people they represent. Let them fear no evil 
and take courage in adversity, for You continue to lead them with Your 
all-knowing right hand.
  We pray in Your everlasting Name. Amen.
