                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal spirit, King of kings, and Lord of lords, we thank You today 
for the gift of this opportunity to serve You and country. Give us the 
wisdom to invest our lives in things that flourish beyond our lifetime.
  Lord, guide our lawmakers. May the reality of their accountability to 
You prompt them to live their lives for Your glory. Empower our 
Senators to listen to the whisper of conscience as they labor for 
liberty. May their first priority be to stay within the circle of Your 
loving providence.
  Lord, give all of us the power to fulfill Your purposes for our 
lives. We pray in your powerful name. Amen.
