                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord God, have mercy upon our Nation, for the winds of suffering 
buffet our land. We hear the cries of the voiceless and the anguish of 
the unheard. We see the criminal actions of those who threaten freedom.
  Lord, snatch this Nation, conceived in liberty, from the precipice of 
its own destruction. Extricate us from traps we have set for ourselves. 
Remind us that You are a God of justice from whom we borrow our 
heartbeats.
  Arise, mighty God, and make those who defy Your purposes tremble with 
reverential awe. Hear the prayers of our Senators, and give them 
wisdom, courage, and integrity for these challenging times.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
