                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our sure refuge, teach us how to live this day. Give us 
relaxed attitudes that lengthen life. Make us like trees that bear 
lifegiving fruit. Keep us calm when we feel indignation. Grant that our 
work will bring freedom and not captivity.
  Look with favor upon the Members of the Senate, and bless them 
according to their needs. Lord, move their minds to discover Your 
purposes. Keep alive in each of them the grace of Your spirit, lest 
they lose the awareness of Your presence in their lives.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
