                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit we are governed and 
sanctified, thank You for continuing to hear and answer our prayers. 
Lord, we have repeatedly prayed for Ukraine; You have filled us with 
Your peace and patience as we have watched the unfolding of Your 
prevailing providence in that ravaged land.
  Continue to use our lawmakers to accomplish Your purposes on Earth. 
Lord, fill our Senators with faith, hope, and courage as they strive to 
live for Your honor. With Your wisdom, mercy, and power, keep them 
steadfast in Your matchless love.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
