                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord, the giver of grace, in these turbulent and tempestuous 
times when we do not know what a day may bring, You continue to be 
sovereign. Morning after morning, we continue to receive Your new 
mercies.
  Lord, sustain our lawmakers with Your unfailing love that is as high 
as the heavens. May our Senators know that, in everything, You continue 
to work for the good of those who love You and who are called according 
to Your purpose for them. Pour out upon our legislators the riches of 
Your mercy so that they may stay steadfast in faith.
  Eternal God, hear us as we pray. We need stronger hearts, greater 
faith, and clearer perception.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
