                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, as the new year beckons, our souls rise to meet 
You, for You are the source of our strength and the hope of our lives. 
We put our lives in Your hands, trusting You with all our tomorrows.
  Lord, You bless us with Your peace, even in the midst of life's 
storms.
  Uphold our Senators. Give them hours that sustain rather than stress. 
Permit the rhythm of Your truth to free them from the bondage that 
debilitates. May they find strength in You as they give You their 
restlessness and doubts.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
