                                 PRAYER

  Dr. Barry C. Black, Chaplain, United States Senate, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  O, God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, thank You 
for the spirit of contentment we can receive from You, bringing 
quietness and faith to our hearts.
  Today, use our lawmakers for Your purposes, enabling them to live 
worthy of Your name. May the words they speak bring edification and 
unity, as our legislators build bridges of cooperation. Lord, give them 
the wisdom to depart from strife, remembering that soft answers turn 
away anger.
  We pray in Your great name.
  Amen.
