                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord God of Heaven and Earth, thank You for the joy that comes to 
those who delight in Your presence. Your mercies are new each day, for 
You sustain us with Your wisdom as we follow Your leading.
  Today, continue to sustain our lawmakers as they embrace Your 
precepts and walk in Your path. Remind them that Your way enables them 
to become instruments for goodness in our Nation and world. Help them 
also to see that it is the difficult road that leads to life, and few 
find it.
  As our Senators receive guidance from You, give them attentive hearts 
and open minds. Enable them to find in the diversity of ideas what is 
best for our Nation and world.
  We pray in your merciful Name. Amen.
