                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Precious Lord, Your power, mercy, and grace continue to sustain us. 
Your power energizes us to face the challenges that require more than 
human wisdom. Your mercy protects us when we fall short of your glory, 
and your grace gives us merit we don't deserve.
  Lord, empower our Senators for today's journey, providing them with 
confidence to draw near to You. May they pass through this day in 
companionship with You, lifting their hearts frequently in prayer. Give 
them wisdom to learn to be faithful stewards of the gifts You have 
provided.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
