                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our righteousness, as each new day seems to bring the 
unexpected, we thank You for Your power that keeps us from stumbling on 
life's road.
  Today, give our lawmakers the wisdom to find in You their refuge and 
strength. Lord, as they face complex challenges, may they plead to You 
for guidance and fellowship. Remind them that in the multitude of 
counselors, there is safety. May our Senators plant seeds of 
righteousness in order to reap our harvest of goodness and grace. May 
they make You the foundation of their hope and joy, as You empower them 
to meet every trial without weariness.
  Lord, have mercy upon the loved ones of Rayshard Brooks and the many 
others who are buffeted by the winds of despair.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
