                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we are gratefully aware that You are the giver of every 
good and perfect gift. You shower us with Your mercies each day.
  We are further aware of our unworthiness because of Your goodness. We 
all, like sheep, have gone astray. Lord, we are prone to wander and to 
leave You, the God we love.
  As our Senators work today, make them extensions of Your power in our 
world. Use them as Your eyes, ears, hands, and feet to accomplish Your 
purposes. Lord, make them Your ambassadors. May they arrange their 
priorities according to Your will and view their challenges from an 
ethical perspective, striving to seek Your will in all they think, say, 
and do. May they find, in challenging moments, opportunities to renew 
their faith in You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
