                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our strength, rock, and fortress, we praise Your holy Name. 
Thank You for being our shield and stronghold.
  Today, give our lawmakers the wisdom to seek You, for You deserve 
their trust. As our Senators remember how You have sustained our Nation 
in the past, may they have confidence in Your guidance for the future.
  Lord, remind them of the times they cried to You for help, and You 
answered them through Your loving providence. As they recall that when 
You speak, good things happen, empower them to face whatever the future 
brings without fear. Use them to speak lifegiving words that bring 
harmony and hope.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
