                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who stretched the horizon across the ocean, You know we 
have no power in ourselves. Without You, we cannot prevail.
  Remind us of the wisdom of Psalms 127:1, which states:

       Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is 
     wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with 
     sentries will do no good.

  Today, work through our lawmakers to build an edifice for freedom 
that will endure. Lord, inspire them to enact laws that will please 
You. Use our Senators to produce a harvest of righteousness that exalts 
our Nation. And, Lord, bless Ukraine.
  We pray in Your awesome Name. Amen.
