                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  We praise You, O God, for the opportunity to serve You and country. 
May we refuse to boast about tomorrow, as we trust You completely to 
guide our steps.
  Today, sustain our Senators in their legislative work of sowing and 
reaping. May they faithfully plant and water the seeds of truth, 
justice, and peace. Lord, give them the wisdom to cultivate the soil of 
debate with kindness and civility. Whatever they do, in word or deed, 
may they do all in and for Your honor.
  And, Lord, we thank You for the legacy of our first President, George 
Washington. We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
