                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our gracious King, You are the one clear power of love 
in the midst of lesser powers. Thank You for giving us the confidence 
that You hear and answer prayers.
  Lord, use the Members of this body as ambassadors of reconciliation. 
Help them to bring wholeness, healing, and unity to a fragmented nation 
and world. Inspire them to discover Your love in each other and to see 
Your image in all creation.
  Lord, settle our Senators down into a contemplative stillness that 
will make them yearn for righteousness, justice, and peace. May they 
speak wise words from a reservoir of wisdom that will transform discord 
into harmony.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
