                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are high and lifted up. Deliver us from estrangement 
or dissension. Teach our lawmakers to disagree with respect, civility, 
and humility. Lord, lead them into a deeper reverence for You and one 
another as they remember that patriots reside on both sides of the 
aisle. May our Senators celebrate the pleasure You receive when 
colleagues of faith dwell together in unity. Let the words of their 
mouths and the meditations of their hearts receive Your divine 
approval.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
