                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, in these challenging days, our hearts are steadfast 
toward You. Empower our lawmakers to grasp Your firm hand, depending on 
You to lead them through the darkness to the light.
  Lord, lead them safely to the fortress of Your choosing, for You 
desire to give them a future and a hope. Provide our Senators with the 
power to do Your will as they more fully realize that they are servants 
of Heaven and stewards of Your gifts. May they make integrity the 
litmus test by which they evaluate each action as You keep them from 
deviating from Your chosen path.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
