                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our rock and fortress, You put the mountains in place 
and bring silence to roaring waves. We celebrate and sing because You 
are always with us. You are a strong tower where we find safety. 
Strengthen our faith and forgive us when we doubt Your power and 
providence. Thank You for this great land and for the many freedoms we 
sometimes take for granted.
  Lord, we appreciate Your faithfulness and Your mercies that are new 
each day. Today, lead our lawmakers so that Your Name will be honored.
  And, Lord, bless Senator McConnell with a speedy recovery.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
