                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who sustains our universe by Your boundless power, preserve 
our Senators with Your goodness, and rule them with Your justice. Lord, 
we cast ourselves entirely upon Your faithfulness, for You are the 
source of every blessing.
  Stabilize our lawmakers in the midst of the contradictions of 
reality. Grant that they will be able to make sense out of life's 
complexities. Lord, help our legislators know the constancy of Your 
presence and the certainty of Your judgment as You guide them with Your 
higher wisdom.
  We pray in Your generous Name. Amen.
