                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our God, we come in thankfulness because You have loved us 
through the seasons of our lives. We find peace in the knowledge that 
You know and accept us.
  Lord, thank You for enabling us to run and not be weary, to walk and 
not faint. Continue to keep us in Your care.
  Bless our Senators. Surround them with the shield of Your love. When 
they feel discouraged, increase their faith. Give them wisdom and 
courage to live each day as Your children.
  We pray for those dealing with the deadly aftermath of the 
Mississippi tornado. We pray also for the victims of the Nashville 
school shooting.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
