                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, Lord of history, if a sparrow does not fall without 
Your knowledge, certainly the issues facing our Senate concern You.
  Your Word assures us that in everything, You are working for the good 
of those who love You. May that promise guide our lawmakers as they 
seek equitable and just solutions to complicated problems.
  Lord, give our Senators the wisdom to discern, courage to believe, 
and the determination to do Your will.
  Bless, O God, the faithful men and women who manage the machinery of 
the Senate, without whom this legislative body could not function. 
Thank You for their efficient and productive work.
  Lord, fill this Chamber with Your presence.
  We ask in Your merciful Name. Amen.
