                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who harmonized the world with seasons and kindness, 
sowing and reaping, color and fragrance, we praise Your loving Name.
  Lord, strengthen our Senators to do their part in fulfilling Your 
purposes for this land we love. Be for our lawmakers a refuge and a 
shelter from life's storms. Give them the wisdom to find in Your word a 
lamp for their feet and a light for their path. Provide them also with 
the resolve to walk in that light and follow Your guidance. In Your 
compassion, free them from the cares that deplete their trust in You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
