                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, teach us Your wisdom and discipline. Because of Your 
wisdom, may our lawmakers have insights that guide them on the path of 
truth. Give them a passion to do what is right, to love mercy, and to 
walk humbly with You. Because of Your gift of discipline, may our 
Senators grow in grace and in a knowledge of You, supplementing their 
faith with generous provisions of moral excellence, self-control, and 
patient endurance.
  Lord, keep us all from deliberate sin so that the words of our lips 
and the reflections of our hearts will please You.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
