                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Gracious God of infinite goodness, confirm Your past mercies to us by 
giving us strength to be faithful to Your commands.
  Lord, help our lawmakers this day to use their understanding, time, 
and talents to do what You desire. May they desire to please You with 
faithful service as You rule their hearts and guide their thoughts, 
words, and actions. Lord, enable our Senators to fulfill their duty to 
love You with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength. Take 
possession of their hearts and order their steps by the power of Your 
loving providence.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
