                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our Father, we wait to serve You as You desire. May we do what 
is right and trust You completely.
  Lord, make us alert to the needs of those lives You seek to touch, 
providing us with opportunities to transform dark yesterdays into 
bright tomorrows. Examine and test us. Judge our desires and thoughts.
  Today, use our lawmakers to bring relief to captives and deliverance 
to the oppressed. Give our Senators such faith that they will bless 
even those who are hard of heart.
  May our legislators courageously work to lift those who are brought 
low by sorrow and empower those who are buffeted by grief.
  We pray in Your precious Name. Amen.
