                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our God, Creator of life, we come in thankfulness because You have 
loved us through all the days of our lives. We find peace in the 
knowledge that You know and accept us as we are. Thank You for enabling 
us to run and not be weary, to walk and not faint. Keep us always in 
Your care.
  Lord, bless our Senators. Forgive them when they make mistakes, and 
give them hope when they feel discouraged. Provide them with wisdom and 
courage to live each day as Your children.
  God bless our Nation. Drive back the forces of evil that seek to 
engulf it. Release the powers of goodness throughout our world.
  And, Lord, we pray for Ukraine.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
