                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who inhabits eternity, You have given us the gift of 
this day. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
  May our lawmakers never forget that they borrow their heartbeats from 
You. Lord, continue to sustain our Senators and give them all they need 
to glorify Your Holy Name. May Your Spirit so move them that they will 
live exemplary lives. Lord, compel them to be just and honest in all 
their dealings. May they remember that our country is no better than 
our citizens and no stronger than its commitment to righteousness.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
