                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of grace and mercy, in these divisive and polarized times, remind 
us that words have consequences. Help us to remember that we are 
accountable to You for every idle and careless word we speak.
  Lord, teach our Senators to be obedient to Your commands, doing Your 
will as Your presence fills them with joy.
  Today, surround our lawmakers with the shield of Your favor as they 
labor to keep our Nation strong. May they be quick to listen, slow to 
speak, and slow to anger. Manifest Your power through their labors so 
that this Nation will be exalted by righteousness.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
