                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God, You are from everlasting to everlasting. Reveal Your 
glory in our Nation and world. Let Your light so shine through our 
Senators that people will see the good things our lawmakers accomplish 
because of Your might. May these people then praise You for Your 
bountiful goodness.
  Holy God, empower us to escape from our fragmentary and broken selves 
into the exemplary unity You desire for us all. Lead us away from doubt 
and disillusionment, from cynicism and despair. Lead us toward faith 
and hope, certainty and love.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
