                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Spirit of love, enlarge our horizons. Give to us this day 
perspectives that go beyond pessimism and negativity. Lord, enable us 
to lift our eyes to You, our provider, sustainer, and friend. May we 
refuse to permit today's challenges to make us forget how powerfully 
you have led us in the past.
  Bless our legislative branch today with Your wisdom. Help our 
Senators to follow the path that leads to the fulfillment of Your 
purposes. Inspire our lawmakers to focus on the priorities that will 
cause justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty 
stream.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
