                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, to whom we must give and account for all our powers 
and privileges, guide the Members of this body so that they will be 
faithful stewards of Your will.
  Lord, open their minds and hearts to know and do Your bidding, 
teaching them to rely on Your strength and to serve You with honor. 
Help them to discover in their daily work the joy of a partnership with 
You. Use them to bring good news to the marginalized, to comfort the 
brokenhearted, and to announce that captives will be released and the 
shackled will be freed.
  May our Senators depend upon the power of Your prevailing providence, 
for You are the author and finisher of our faith.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
